Maxild,

I guess I lied. In my example you would have to call your container in the c-tor like IoC.Resolve(). I suppose there is some way to do it with a custom view engine, but I think you would still have to call the container. If you find a better way let us know.

Hi,

You mention using ctor dependency injection to pass down the behaviors to the base view page class. Can you point me to any source explaining how to set this up. It is easy for controllers, but for views I can’t find the extension point. I am seing the locator interface IViewEngine, and implementors using the BuildManager.CreateInstanceFromVirtualPath method. Also I don’t want to call the container from within the default constructor in the base view page class. I want injection to work independent of which IoC container is being used.

Regards
Maxild

Hmm, in my comment with [nunit2] error are both values the same, but in fact the buils output is :
…
Expected: “$1 234,50″
But was: “$1234,50″
…

There is some kind of unicode characted inside “” chars, i thing this blog engine hides it…

This was reported, and I thought it had been fixed. I will look into it. In any case, it’s an error in the test, not in the code under test.

When you set windows locales to “English” all tests pass.
It is not good for people outside english-enabled countries

@Tim
Hi Tim.
Ok i have downloaded source files from SVN but build fails(unit tests dont pass) :

[nunit2] application/pdf
[nunit2]
[nunit2] Tests run: 1140, Failures: 6, Not run: 1, Time: 10.699 seconds
[nunit2]
[nunit2] Failures:
[nunit2] 1) MvcContrib.UnitTests.FluentHtml.LiteralTests.literal_renders_with_inner_text_formatted : Expected string length 9 but was 14. Strings differ at index 2.
[nunit2] Expected: “$1 234,50″
[nunit2] But was: “$1 234,50″
[nunit2] ————-^

[nunit2]

…. total of 6 unit test fails …

It seems it’s a problem when you have windows locales set to different language than English.

The latest release of MvcContrib predates FluentHtml, so it’s not in any binary download. You must get the source and build it. There is a file “ClickToBuild.bat” in the trunk which puts the binaries in the “build” folder.
