Method 'Routecollection.Get_Appendtrailingslash' Not Found When Using Razor Url Helpers in ASP.NET MVC 5 Mono

Method 'RouteCollection.get_AppendTrailingSlash' not found when using Razor Url helpers in ASP.NET MVC 5 Mono

The latest news afaik is that Miguel rejected my minimal pull request last year but you can see at the bottom of that Pull Request that a couple of others have got builds on github which include this and more.

I can't see anyone's got a pull request accepted for mono mainline. The way forward I can see is if you know/can persuade someone on the Xamarin team to push this.

Or, helping with getting the now-open-sourced .Net code running on mono.

But https://github.com/gentoo/dotnet looks interesting: It has pulled this and some other MVC5 changes.

Action and ActionLink not working on ASP.NET Mono Razor views

Well, you can always look up ASP.NET MVC source code, and copy what you need, if it is not implemented in mono yet.
Here you can find it: https://github.com/ASP-NET-MVC/aspnetwebstack/blob/master/src/System.Web.Mvc/Html/LinkExtensions.cs

But I've been using mono and ASP.NET MVC 4, and I had no problem like you.
Here is my code on github, it was running on mono and xsp.
https://github.com/rstraszewski/HomeCenter/tree/master/HomeCenter.Presentation

As you can see, for example in _Layout.cshtml, I was using Html.ActionLink...Although I was using windows and visual studio for compiling and developing, and mono only for runtime...

You can also create your own html helpers to generate links...
And there is also a Html.RouteLink helper method, which also can generate you a link.

Example of using Html.RouteLink:

@Html.RouteLink("Some link", "Default", new RouteValueDictionary(new {controller = "Home", action = "Index"}))

Yes, you can also use something like:

<a href="~/Home/Index">Some link</a>

Notice that the ~/ is important in the above snippet, without it the Url demonstrates a strange behaviour but you need to remember, that this will work, because this is how default routing is working... If you change default routing, this can not work.

Stylesheets and scripts bundles not working in Mono

Inside your BundleConfig file add the following:

BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true;

Then switch to release mode.

This should do the trick

Using a bookmark in URL in asp.net mvc web page does not work

I checked your page, that situated on link.

You have 2 a tags with id and name with value description.

That's why it's not working. Just change one of them to

<a id="description2" name="description2">...</a>

And everything will work.

Missing assemblies with mono 3 MVC web app

I eventually got mine to run by referencing the System.Web.Mvc.dll found in /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Libraries/mono/4.5/

I also had to bring over System.Web.Helpers.dll from a Windows box and update the Web.Config using one generated by Visual Studio.

There's probably a better way to do this (please be a better way), but figured I'd pass on what I found.

Url helper for full url in asp.net mvc-3

The @Url.RouteURL() does not quiet answer this question. It does work for named routes but falls short for arbitrary virtual paths.
Here is quick helper method that generates full outbound url. You can create overloads for various schemes (http[s]) depending on the degree of control desired.

public static class UrlHelperExtension
{
    public static string ContentFullPath(this UrlHelper url,string virtualPath)
    {
        var result = string.Empty;
        Uri requestUrl = url.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.Url;

        result = string.Format("{0}://{1}{2}",
                               requestUrl.Scheme,
                               requestUrl.Authority, 
                               VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(virtualPath));
        return result;
    }
}
