[Mono-dev] ASP.NET MVC 3 Preview

[Tomi]

Hi folks,

I wanted to try out preview version of ASP.NET MVC 3 on trunk version
of mono, so I downloaded it from git (mono, xsp, mod_mono). Then I
removed [MonoTODO] attribute on line 806 (IsFullyTrusted property) in
Assembly.cs (http://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/class/corlib/System.Reflection/Assembly.cs)
because otherwise I would get "Method not found" error. After setting
up this "modified" parallel environment and configuring
apache/mod_mono to use mod-mono-server4 I get this stuff:

====================================================

The view 'Index' or its master was not found. The following locations
were searched: ~/Views/Home/Index.aspx ~/Views/Home/Index.ascx
~/Views/Shared/Index.aspx ~/Views/Shared/Index.ascx
~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml ~/Views/Shared/Index.cshtml

Description: HTTP 500. Error processing request.

Stack Trace:

====================================================

MVC 2 based applications work, either with mod-mono-server2 (target
framework 3.5) or mod-mono-server4 (target framework 4.0), but MVC 3
(which have to be .net 4.0) gives above error. I tested both view
engines (classic aspx and new razor) with the same result. MVC 3 dll
assembly is copied locally into bin folder and loaded normally when I
try to use reflection during runtime to check it. I also tried to
check if the requested paths are not different under windows and
linux, but they are the same. Do you have any thoughts on what may be
wrong? Thanks for your time.
