I've had this intermittent problem with the accordion control. Every so often, when the div that backs the accordion is loaded, the accordion style is not applied and I'm left with just a h3 and a div. Yesterday I switched all the jquery script references to hosted which improved the rendering performance, but has now introduced this issue. To solve it, I removed the references that I had placed in my partial page razor files. I'd put these in initially to get intellisence to work, but it seems that you cannot have the same reference in the _Layout.cshtml and in the partial page files. I'll have to do some internet digging to see if this is a known issue.
On a more fun note, I used the very impressive ASP.NET MVC scaffolding wizard to quickly create a content management application for the Lawn Maintenance Calendar. All I had to do was re-use the code first model classes that I had created for the LMC and context class and the wizard went away and pretty much created everything; controllers and views for index, create, edit, details and delete. I had to make a few tweaks here and there and add in the role security to prevent non content managers accessing these controllers.
Now, I can understand that this approach of mass automated boiler plate code creation is not ideal for commercial quality production systems where every user story through the system should be test driven. Also the controllers had been coded up to make direct calls to the database context, which ideally should be abstracted to a data access layer. But I still couldn't help by being impressed with the way it created the views and controllers, even if you do end up throwing away much of the code.
