iis 7 - ASP.NET-MVC2 Preview 1: Are There Any Breaking Changes?

Question

1. I was following Steven Sanderson's 'Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework' book.
2. On page 132, in accordance with the author's recommendation, I downloaded the ASP.NET MVC Futures assembly, and added it to my MVC project.
3. Then, without encouragement from the author, I downloaded, installed, and incorporated the ASP.NET MVC2 Preview 1 dlls into my project.
4. Now, I can no longer load the website.
   1. That is, when I hit F5 in Visual Studio, I get this error.

In retrospect, I think it was a really bad idea to assume that ASP.NET MVC2 Preview 1 would only be additive; but I'd like other people to weigh in.

Has anyone noticed any breaking changes in ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 1?

Also - Has anyone noticed any changes that impact Castle Windsor?

Also, please let me know if I should be mindful of IIS6 vs. IIS7 ramifications.

Answer 1

I had problems with Castle and MVC2 in VS 2010 Beta 2.

I was able to get Castle working with this code for the GetControllerInstance. The problem was that all requests were coming into this (like css files), so just returning null for those seems to work.

protected override IController GetControllerInstance(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
{
     if (controllerType == null) { return null; }

     return (IController)_container.Resolve(controllerType);
}
