Frustrated with Json Response

So here is my problem. I’m using Jquery’s $.ajax to pass back a series of values to a web method. The web method takes the values, creates an object and then sends it back as json to the calling page. Once I get the response back I am unable to access the response and display it’s values.

JQuery BlockUI with UpdatePanel Viewstate Issue

I am using BlockUI to show a modal. Within the blocked modal I have an update panel. Within the update panel I have a textbox and a button that submits the content back to the server. Everything works fine up to this point (the blockUI is called, the modal appears, and the button performs the postback). However, when the button’s click event is fired the value for the textbox is consistently empty even if text was entered. When the update panel updates the textbox shows up blank. It appears that this may be some sort of viewstate issue and I haven’t turned off viewstate.

ASP.NET MVC3: ValidationType ModelClientValidationRule

I just created a sample MVC3 application to learn validation. It is using DataAnnotations. I have created a custom ValidationAttribute named CustomStartLetterMatch. It is implementing “System.Web.Mvc.IClientValidatable”. I have corresponding client-side code written with unobtrusive jQuery. This is working as expected.
