We faced a problem when we added some PDF files into our media library of ASP.NET MVC website and noticed that these files are not Published automatically.
So you need in Visual Studio to click on each PDF file and under Properties (F4) just choose
There is an Combres project that can help you achieve this goal: http://combres.codeplex.com/
Here is a tutorial how to use it:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/combres2.aspx
1. Put this in web.config:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="combres" type="Combres.ConfigSectionSetting, Combres, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=49212d24adfbe4b4"/>
...
</configSections>
<combres definitionUrl="~/App_Data/combine.xml"/>
...
</configuration>
2. Put this in Global.asax
At the top put this:
using Combres;
And then in the Application_Start put this:
protected void Application_Start()
{
//Apply combres compression
RouteTable.Routes.AddCombresRoute("Combres Route");
}
3. Add a reference in your project to merged Combres.dll library.
4. Create an xml file (named it as it is in web.config and put it in specified location):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<combres xmlns='urn:combres'>
<resourceSets url="~/combres.axd" defaultDuration="30" defaultVersion="11">
<resourceSet name="siteCss" type="css">
<resource path="~/Styles/jquery.paginate.css" />
<resource path="~/Styles/general.css" />
<resource path="~/Styles/redmond/jquery-ui-1.8rc3.custom.css" />
<resource path="~/Styles/jquery.fancybox-1.3.0.css" />
<resource path="~/Styles/jquery.ratings.css" />
</resourceSet>
<resourceSet name="siteJs" type="js">
<resource path="~/Scripts/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" />
<resource path="~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8rc3.custom.min.js" />
<resource path="~/Scripts/jquery.ratings.js" />
<resource path="~/Scripts/jquery.paginate.js" />
<resource path="~/Scripts/jquery.apag.js" />
<resource path="~/Scripts/fancybox/jquery.easing-1.3.pack.js" />
<resource path="~/Scripts/fancybox/jquery.mousewheel-3.0.2.pack.js" />
<resource path="~/Scripts/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.0.pack.js" />
<resource path="~/Scripts/swfobject.js" />
</resourceSet>
</resourceSets>
</combres>
5. In the HEAD of yout HTML or master page call this:
<head runat="server">
<title>Some title...</title>
<%= Combres.WebExtensions.CombresLink("siteCss")%>
<%= Combres.WebExtensions.CombresLink("siteJs")%>
</head>
Sometimes a developer needs to render a View as string. Practical scenario would be to create an obvious View and send it via e-mail instead displaying it in browser. Here is a simple way to extract content from a rendered View:
Implement RenderViewToString method
public class HomeController : Controller
{
protected string RenderViewToString(string viewName, object model)
{
string result = null;
var view = ViewEngines.Engines.FindView(this.ControllerContext, viewName, null).View;
if (view != null)
{
var sb = new StringBuilder();
using (var writer = new StringWriter(sb))
{
var viewContext = new ViewContext(this.ControllerContext, view,
new ViewDataDictionary(model), new TempDataDictionary(), writer);
view.Render(viewContext, writer);
writer.Flush();
}
result = sb.ToString();
}
return result;
}
}
Call it in your action method
//Somewhere in HomeController...
public ActionResult Index()
{
//Render a View named 'Email' to string variable named 'content'
//Second parameter (model) can be null
string content = RenderViewToString("Email", new EmailModel());
//Do something with the content, e.g. send it to e-mail
//This does nothing to do with rendered string
return View();
}

It turns out that the slowness is caused by an IPv6 issue with DNS and can easily be resolved by turning IPv6 support off in Firefox while doing localhost testing.
To make the change do this:
This does the trick for the Firefox localhost issue on Vista and everything is running fast again.
