I'm trying to use @Html.Flash with my own template instead of the standard Flash. So I'm using @Html.Flash("~/Location/Of/My/Other/Template.cshtml") but I get the CS1501: No overload for method 'Flash' takes 1 arguments error.

But if I look at https://github.com/khalidabuhakmeh/MvcFlash/blob/master/MvcFlash.Core/Extensions/HtmlHelperExtensions.cs#L19 I see you take a templateName parameter. Any idea on this?

I got a bit more information. If I check the HtmlHelperExtensions.cs in the .dll I have this code.

using System;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace MvcFlash.Core.Extensions
{
    public static class HtmlHelperExtensions
    {
        public static T Cast<T>(this object value);
        public static MvcHtmlString Flash<TModel>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> helper);
    }
}

I'm trying to do something like this Flash.Error("error message <a href=\"\">link</a>"); but somewhere the html is getting escaped.
So the message that is output is error message <a href="">link</a>

Is there a way around the escaping?

The ability to keep your Flash code in place, but if the request is detected to be AJAX then they will be cleared at the end of the request.

This will help keep branching logic down since you won't have to worry about whether to flash or not.

Allow the user to specify a key so that if the same message with the same key is added multiple times it will only appear once.

If you have a infrastructure project that contains code such as ActionFilterAttributes and want to use MvcFlash for messaging, when you install the package you will get a Content\flash\ folder with associated styles and pngs.

It would make sense for there to be a core package to be installed outside of the mvc web projects.

The flash use System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject that is not serializable!!!!
Please help.
Best regards

So I'm upgrading one of my asp.net mvc3 apps that uses this awesome package, I think all that is needed is a modification to the web.config. I have created a branch on my fork with the web.config.transform updated.

See here: https://github.com/TechplexEngineer/MvcFlash/tree/mvc4

Is there an associated website or blog to go with this project? If so I'd recommend fixing up the url next to the project description

I want to be able to wrap the flash messages into one wrapper, but I want to show/hide that wrapper depending on whether there are any flash messages in the flash object.

I tried to use Flash.Count, but it fails with 'invalid object'

Is there a way to do so?

If Flash.Count then

right now you have to do string.format to put dynamic content into your messages. This could be fixed by creating an extension method that hangs off of string.

"this is a cool message for {0}".with(name)

also thinking about named parameters

"this is a cool message for {name}.with(name)

Have to research this more.
