Is it possible to do a KendoUI mobile project, using ASP.net mvc? Watching the introduction on Pluralsight, I'm sort of confused. As an example, KendoUI Mobile uses something like this to navigate:
<a href="#someView" data-role="button">Go to some view</button>
When rendering views through RenderBody in my main layout, will I have to specify this view as a mobile view, or does the application defined in my main layout pick up on this?
So, I guess my question is this; Has anyone got any experience on this combination and, if so, could you provide some resources as to where this combination is being used?
I figured this on out. Seems to be a few projects out there using this combination. One example is this project: KendoUI mobile task manager
That being said, I'll try to play around and tweak the framework to my needs.
The answer is Yes. I was searching for the same answers, and found this resource very helpful, using MVC4, with detailed explanations:
Single Page App using MVC and Kendo Mobile
When searching for references and tutorials, what is not immediately clear is that Kendo UI Mobile is a different setup from Kendo UI. As WhizKid points out it is a single page application, and all your data must go through AJAX.
If you have not used them before, you will probably need to learn Kendo's MVVM and datasources. You must decide what sort of interface you will use for data exchange (eg. WebApi, OData) and fix the routing.
The reason I am going this way is because Kendo comes with good looks, and MVC can help me with localization.

I am very new to AngularJS + Kendo UI Mobile.
I am not even sure if it's supposed to be called Angular Kendo.
However, while reading through various sources, I came across conflicting statements regarding the routing mechanism of an app that uses AngularJS and Kendo UI Mobile.
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/AngularJS/introduction says :
If you are using AngularJS then you probably want to use Angular's own routing mechanism and data binding. Do not mix that with Kendo MVVM.
However this example here http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/mobile/angular/angular mentions :
The mobile application instantiates and maintains its own routing mechanism based on the router component, which automatically matches and instantiates views when navigating. Unlike the ng-route/ng-view and the ui-router implementations, the mobile application does not unload the previous view when navigating to the new one.
So, what should I do? Which is the most preferred way and why?
I've incurred the same sort of conflicting info you have. Basically, it seems Telerik first put out a solution around April '14, but then modified the integration and structuring methods around November '14.
The Telerik resource linked here should be helpful to devs looking to optimally integrate AngularJS functionality into Kendo UI Mobile, as it's the post 2014 Q3 version: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/mobile/angular/sushi-angular-tutorial
My website is an ajax single page application with serverside rendering. What are some javascript framework i can use for made a better organization of my javascript code?
BreezeJS you can use for rich data centric apps, which can be used with knockout or angularJS.
I prefer u to use HotTowel SPA template and take a look on this link
http://www.johnpapa.net/spa/
And before asking any questions You should be clear for what you need and why u need. So take your time and look around you will get.
You can look into breezeJS which is used to build rich Data-Centric application, for DOM manipulation you can use some JQueryUI or KendoUI, for dynamic Data bindings which will allow you to change the content of your Views you can prefer Knockout or Angular. Using AngularJS will be much appreciated as it provides rich AngularUI which helps you to change your view to manipulate DOM. Based on type of application you want to develop, you can select from the above suggestions.
I'm pretty new to Dojo and I'm wondering about some best practises for building a MVC application. I know there are modules like dojox/app, but it seems like these are made for more complex applications.
It seems like the best way to go is to make custom page-level controller objects with will handle all the page logic, but I'm not quite sure how to fit this piece in the puzzle. What is the proper way to switch between views and passing through parameters through them following a MVC archtiecture.
I have an overview page with list items, each with their own ID. I want to navigate to another page passing through the corresponding item ID so I can retrieve the details for this item externally. What would be the proper way of doing this?
I could call a method on the corresponding controller (Page1 Controller or Page2 Details controller) directly using a button and passing the listID parameter directly?
Another way of doing this could be by working with transition states and addling listeners in the page controller to forward to the correct page. Although I'm not quite sure how to pass parameters in this scenario..
... any better solutions?
Can anybody shed some light on this? It doesn't seem like there is much documentation/examples on this with the latest versions of dojo (1.9).
Thanks!
I will recommend dojox/app since you are already using dojo mobile.
It's very simple to get started and can be use for simple apps or very complex apps
Take a look at this resources:

I have to create custom controls in ASP.NET MVC 3. Controls like customized buttons which I will put in DLL and reuse in any project.
Do you know a good way or maybe you can give me a good tutorial to do this.
Thanks.
You can't, WebControls are for Web Forms. In asp.net mvc anything view related(html, javascript, css) is decoupled from the controller. The best you can do is to have helpers which are simply extension methods. But something similar to the webcontrols is specific to web forms only.
This post and this should give you an idea
You would need to use Partial Views to re-use code.

Asp.net MVC 3 preview 1 was released at the end of last month. Are there any new features you are excited about or any features you would like to see before it is fully released?
Full support for Controllers with Generic Parameters
public GenericController<SomeType> : Controller
Generic controllers are quite possibly the greatest MVC timesaver if your doing a lot or business CRUD. There are so many similarities between the Add methods of almost every MVC project that it makes sense to abstract these operations out in a Controller that fits all scenarios.
Right now its a little hacky to create a generic controller. The MVC engine always gets the name wrong (GenericCo vs. Generic) and without full support plugin and libraries that interact with controllers just fall over when they encounter a generic one.
Make Dropdowns easier to work with
As a professional MVC tag watcher I've noticed that working with dropdowns is one of the most repeated questions on SO. The amount of Dropdown questions is a strong indication that something should be done to make it easier or less ... complex?
make checkbox list easy to work with
add T4MVC to the official release
add official helpers for OData
support one javascript library either MS Ajax or jQuery(preferably)
I wish they can add something to help developer to migrate their previous ASP.NET WebForms application.
