ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 1
Posted In: ASP.NET, MVC Framework by DotNut
ASP.NET MVC 2 first preview is now released to public. It’s a framework for developing highly testable and maintainable Web applications by leveraging the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. The framework encourages developers to maintain a clear separation of concerns among the responsibilities of the application – the UI logic using the view, user-input handling using the controller, and the domain logic using the model. ASP.NET MVC applications are easily testable using techniques such as test-driven development (TDD).
New features include:
- Areas support – allows to group and partition functionality in large ASP.NET MVC applications.
- DataAnnotation validation support – ASP.NET MVC 2 is able to use same data annotation mechanism as ASP.NET Dynamic Data and .NET RIA Services do.
- Strongly typed UI helpers – let you use strong-typed lambda expressions when referencing the view template’s model object.
- UI Helper templating support – new methods to bind custom editors and displays to model properties.
