ASP.NET MVC • What Is MVC • Who Are Using MVC • ASP.NET MVC • What Is Missing • When MVC • ASP.NET MVC or Web Form • Benefits of ASP.NET MVC
What Is MVC • An architectural pattern used to separate an application into three main aspects • Model. Set of classes that represent data and business rules for how data can be changed and manipulated • View. Application’s user interface • Controller. Set of classes that handles communication from user, overall application flow, and application-specific logic
Who Are Using MVC • Java: Swing, Struts • Python: Django • PHP: CakePHP, Symfony • Ruby: Ruby on Rails • ASP .NET: Microsoft’s ASP .NET MVC
ASP.NET MVC • A new way to build highly-testable apps on top of the ASP.NET Framework • No post-backs • Requests map to methods rather than pages • SEO-friendly URLs • Supports TDD and Unit Tests • Encourages use of design patterns and best practices
ASP.NET MVC • ASP.NETMVC 1.0 • Requires .NET 3.5 SP1 / Visual Studio 2008 SP1 • Download Microsoft ASP.NETMVC 1.0 from http://asp.net/mvc • ASP.NETMVC 2.0(In beta) • Will be part of Visual Studio 2010 / ASP.NET 4.0
What Is Missing • Not as RAD as using Web Forms • No drag and drop experience • Doesn’t build on all your experience with ASP.NET server controls
When MVC • are disciplined and want to follow design • patterns and best practices • are interested in embracing unit tests • are interested in embracing TDD • are being told to use it by your employer/client
ASP.NET MVC or Web Form • Building an intranet site with lots of data editing -Web Forms may be better suited • Building an Internet site where HTML, performance, and scalability are paramount -ASP.NETMVC may be better suited
Benefits ASP.NET MVC • You get REST URLS • Normal ASP.NET • http://server/application/Products.aspx?id=4 • ASP.NETMVC • http://server/application/Products/show/beverages • You don't have to use the ".aspx" extensions (you never really did, but now it is easier to avoid). • Very clean, controlled HTML output. Less of what will show up is hidden from you, so you have a lot more control over the generated HTML. • Testing becomes much easier. Web forms where very difficult to test. Because of the controllers instead of the pages themselves handling things, testing becomes much easier. • It becomes far easier to optimize URLS for search engines. With Web Forms one needed to use URL rewriters which merely hid what the real URL was. • With Web Forms there was a sense of state. Pages maintained their state between posts. This made things a little bit easier, but this obfuscation hides how interactions between the client and the server actually occur. MVC gives you much more control over the client-server interaction
