ASP.NET MVC 3 is an open-source technology that provides a Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework on top of the existing ASP.NET 4 runtime.  Microsoft has released it to manufacturing.

As noted in Network World:  “The key, simple way to think about [it] is MVC provides you with a solution that’s more customizable.”  With dependency injection, for example, developers can plug dependencies into an application and easily switch out the database without affecting the rest of the project.

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

ASP.NET MVC 3 Preview 1 provides a new Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework on top of the existing ASP.NET 4 runtime.  ASP.NET MVC 3 can be installed side-by-side with ASP.NET MVC 2 and won’t affect existing projects.

ASP.NET MVC 3 is 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).

MvcSiteMapProvider is an open-source ASP.NET MVC SiteMapProvider implementation for the ASP.NET MVC framework.  Targeted to ASP.NET MVC 2, it provides sitemap XML functionality and interoperability with the classic ASP.NET sitemap controls, like the SiteMapPath control for rendering breadcrumbs and the Menu control.

Based on areas, controller and action method names rather than hardcoded URL references, sitemap nodes are completely dynamic based on the routing engine used in an application.  The dynamic character of ASP.NET MVC is followed in the MvcSiteMapProvider: there are numerous extensibility points that allow you to extend the basic functionality offered.
