Request.Form in MVC
-
Hi, I was wondering if retrieving the input in MVC is always string based? Like requesting.form a "select multiple" (aka listbox).. Is any other method than retrieving the values in a comma-separated string? Like "043,015,091" Or for example a checkbox.. is it possible to retrieve a bool instead of parsing a string? Because everything must be retrieved by using Request.Form Please notice that i'm talking about ASP.NET MVC: That means i'm retrieving the values from a controller (POST) and not in the SomeButton_Click or something. In a NOT MVC way it would be all object oriented by using asp controls and etc.

Sounds like MVC sucks. A website posts everything as a string. So, a string is all you will ever get. That's how the web works, it has nothing to do with MVC or ASP.NET.

But with checkboxes, for example, when you use ASP.NET (not mvc) you can manage them as if their were winforms checkboxes (ie. myCheckBox.Value is bool), And with Listboxes, you can refer to the ith item in the list (because its an array), and so on..

Seriously. MVC is like a step backwards. I haven't had any problems with ASP.Net, I don't understand what issues MVC fixed. Really, I don't get it even a little bit.
I didn't get any requirements for the signature

A broad statement that can fit any number of situations, tools, technologies, etc. sounds like [insert name here] sucks.

Well, I only have his description to go on, so that is what I was commenting on.

Not in all aspects. It is good if you want better testability, reduced payload, meaningful URLs and many other things. Two things which I don't like about ASP.NET MVC are, writing markup and server side code together like we did in old ASP and installations on IIS6. Installation on any IIS versions prior to 7 is not very straightforward. :)

MVC solves the separation of concerns.. thats what it "fixes"
