Introduction to ASP.NET MVC
The document introduces the ASP.NET MVC framework, highlighting its advantages such as greater control over HTML and URLs, improved testability, and a clear separation of concerns. It emphasizes that MVC is a flexible alternative to WebForms, supporting existing ASP.NET features while offering extensibility options like customizable routing and view engines. Additionally, it addresses concerns and common questions regarding MVC's scalability, safety, and usage scenarios.

- 10. WHAT’S THE POINT?It’s not WebForms 4.0! It’s an alternative Flexible Extendible in each part of the process Fundamental Only System.Web! (Not WPF or Winforms) Plays well with others NHibernate for models, NVelocity for views, Unity for dependency injection, … Keep things simple!
- 11. GOALS Maintain CleanSeparation of Concerns Easy Testing Red/Green TDD Highly maintainable applications by default Extensible and Pluggable Support replacing any component of system Source available on CodePlex Not open source Build your own, private version
- 12. DRIVING GOALS Enableclean URLs and SEO SEO friendly URL structures Great ASP.NET integration All providers are supported Membership, Caching, Session, … ASP.NET designer in VS2008 Check my blog! http://tinyurl.com/maarten-outputcache http://tinyurl.com/maarten-mvcsitemap

It’s more! public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.MapRoute( "Default "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }, new { controller = @"[^\.]*" } ); }
- 17. CUSTOM URL ROUTINGCan setup custom URL routing rules within the RegisterRoutes() method in Global.asax Enables very flexible mapping and route rules: Default parameters Constraints Named routes Wildcard “catch-all” routes

- 27. TESTING Has anyonetried testing webforms? Without IIS being fired up? Each component tested individually?
- 28. INTERFACES AND TESTINGThese are all easily mockable! HttpContextBase, HttpResponseBase, HttpRequestBase Extensibility IController IControllerFactory IRouteHandler IViewEngine
- 29. TESTING CONTROLLER ACTIONSNo requirement to test within ASP.NET runtime! Can mock parts of runtime you want to fake Using Moq, Rhino, TypeMock, … http://code.google.com/p/moq/ [TestMethod] public void ShowPostsDisplayPostView() { BlogController controller = new BlogController(…); var result = controller.ShowPost(2) as ViewResult; Assert.IsNotNull(result); Assert.AreEqual(result.ViewData[ " Message " ], " Hello " ); }

- 34. SUMMARY A newoption for ASP.NET. More control over your <html/> and URLs More easily testable approach Not for everyone – only use it if you want to Shipping later this year
- 35. COMMON QUESTIONS ShouldI use WebForms or MVC? Are there any controls? Do I have to write <%= %> code in my view? What about AJAX? How fast/scalable is it? Is it safe? When will it ship?
