ASP.NET MVC 3 Release Candidate
Posted In: ASP.NET, MVC Framework by DotNut
ASP.NET MVC 3 provides a Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework on top of the existing ASP.NET 4 runtime. The framework encourages developers to maintain a clear separation of concerns – the UI logic using the view, user-input handling using the controller, and the domain logic using the model.
New features specific to this release include:
- Colorization and intellisense support for Razor-based view templates
- NuGet Package Manager support
- Partial page output caching
- Unobtrusive JavaScript and validation
- Many other improvements
