Enabling data access against new EF stack.
Uses SQL Server when running on Net45 and an in-memory database for K10
(because SQL Client isn't available on K10 yet).
Various workarounds in place to compensate for missing features in EF
(all marked with "// TODO [EF]..."
Changes include
(1) Inclusion of all views (with non compiling code commented out)
(2) Inclusion of all models with data annotations
(3) images & setting up of static files
(4) MVC application setup and scripts to run the application
(5) Scripts to clean up the temporary files and capture LKG build.
Modified ModelState to only ever be created on the ActionContext and then plumbed/exposed it on ViewData and Controller. This will enable: ActionFilterContext's will have access to ModelState via its ActionContext member, allow HTMLHelpers to access ModelState via ViewData, and unify the locations of "source" model state. In the old world we used to copy/replace/instantiate new model state all over unnecessarily.
- demonstrate `ModelMetadata` is available in a view
Also
- simplify `View()` overloads in `Controller`, pending #110 decisions
- make `Model` in `RazorView<T>` readonly
This will be necessary for partials, and for Components.
Basically, the view engine uses a dictionary of data to find the top level
view (for an action) - after we do that, we want this context to be
sticky, which means we need to pass it around. This ensures that partials
and components will be resolved under the same paths as the main view.
Currently this 'data' is just the route values - and there is an ongoing
discussing about the right design here. The data that's being passed WILL
change in the future.
and only use RouteValues (or generically just Dictionary<string, object>).
This is temporary and will change once we get Partials (which are currently just dead code)
For now this will unblock ViewComponents
The changes include:
1. Action executor changes required for supporting sync and async operations Taksk and Task
2. Adding test project for MVC core - This contains ActionExecutor Tests.
3. Also adding a resources file for MVC core project
