Hi,

I have seen some sad scenarios, while trying to create Asp.Net MVC with Visual Web Developer 2008.

Yes... Its true that currently you cannot run Asp.Net MVC within VWD 2008. But this situation is not on a permanent basis.

Here's a special response in forums answered by Mr. ScottGu against a question about VWD support.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Visual Web Developer 2008 Express doesn't currently support web application projects or class projects. 

The default MVC project template uses web application projects to make them easier to unit test - and so doesn't currently work with VWD.

We are going to release an update to VWD in a few months that enables support for both WAP and Class Library projects inside VWD (while still being free).  Once this update is out you'll have full integration support of ASP.NET MVC with Visual Web Developer.

Hope this helps,

Scott

Cheer Up. Asp.Net MVC is going to be supported by VWD 2008. Just few months to go.
