Recently I had to add a simple fileupload control in an MVC3 Razor page. It wasn't very difficult to do, thanks to System.Web.Helpers and Microsoft.Web.Helpers. To begin... if you don't have Microsoft.Web.Helpers, find and install through NuGet. pm > Install-Package microsoft-web-helpers Next in your Razor view add the following : @using Microsoft.Web.Helpers @{ ViewBag.Title = "Upload Files"; } @using (Html.BeginForm("Upload","Upload", FormMethod.Post, new { @encType = "multipart/form-data" })) { @FileUpload.GetHtml(initialNumberOfFiles:1, allowMoreFilesToBeAdded:true, includeFormTag:false, addText:"Add Files", uploadText: "Upload File") < input type="submit" name="submit" text="upload" /> } Next in your Upload Controller add the following.

Cloning and Creating a Patch $ git clone git://github.com/git/hello-world.git $ cd hello-world $ (edit files) $ git add (files) $ git commit -m 'Explain what I changed' $ git format-patch origin/master Pushing a branch $ (execute the following in the remote repository) $ git config --bool core.bare true $ (delete all files in remote repository except the .git folder) $ (now you can push to the remote repository from any branch) $ git push origin master Git Reference http://git-scm.com/

The following is my ReportViewerControl in web app story. After hours of trial and error and frustration, this is what worked for me. Follow the directions at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251669.aspx to create your web application. My report was running on native mode so the report server url was http://(myserver-name)/ReportServer and the report path does NOT have a .rdl extension. Next we have to implement the interface IReportServerCredentials to authenticate through to the server that hosts the actual report. It was not easy to find one clean solution and therefore I blog about it. using System; using System.Configuration; using System.Net; using System.Security.Principal; using Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms; public partial class POCReportViewerControl : System.Web.UI.Page { pro
