What is ASP.NET MVC Framework?

The ASP.NET MVC Framework is the Microsoft's adoption of MVC for its ASP.NET technology for version 3.5 where it provides features required to build a web application based on MVC.

ASP.NET MVC Framework is currently under construction and only one public release is available for download as a part of ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions CTP.

Once you download and install this package, you can get the benefit of different pieces of ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions and it automatically installs some project templates for you on Visual Studio 2008.

Along this download package, there is an MVC toolkit package available for download that provides some helpful tools for your MVC development. I may use them in my posts as well.

Great introduction to MVC and a simple hands on exercise for a quick run through of the general concept of ASP.NET MVC.

Dave,

Thank you for leaving your comment. If I can remember it correctly, I took Figure 1 from MSDN. Yes, there can be a two-way connection between controller and view but don't forget that this isn't mandatory. There may be some cases where controller gets data from view to perform an update but this isn't 100% a case for all scnearios.

I hope this makes sense.

Title: Figure 1 (MVC structure) is incorrect

The view NEVER(!) updates the model. The controller is responsible for loading and saving states to the model layer. Loaded information from the models layer is than passed the the view. The view does only presentation. By definition it is impossible that a presentation contacts the models view or even updates it. The controller is responsible for all logic needed to view, create, update or delete a page.

(I hope my schema stays correct)
+------------+ +-------+
| controller | --- loading information --> | model |
| | <-- saving information ---- | |
+------------+ +-------+
|
V
+------------+
| view |
+------------+

(Basicly your have to define a two-way (loading and saving) connection from the controller to the model. The controller has a 'write-only' connection with the view.

The rest of the article is written very well. Keep up the good work!
