ASP.NET MVC 1.0

mvcsource[1] Two weeks ago at MIX we released ASP.NET MVC 1.0.  ASP.NET MVC is a free, fully supported, Microsoft product that enables developers to easily build web applications using a model-view-controller pattern.  ASP.NET MVC provides a “closer to the metal” web programming option for ASP.NET.  It enables full control over HTML markup and URL structure, and facilitates unit testing and a test driven development workflow.

Releasing the ASP.NET MVC source code under MS-PL

I’m excited today to announce that we are also releasing the ASP.NET MVC source code under the Microsoft Public License (MS-PL).  MS-PL is an OSI-approved open source license.  The MS-PL contains no platform restrictions and provides broad rights to modify and redistribute the source code.  You can read the text of the MS-PL at: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/ms-pl.html

Learning more about ASP.NET MVC

To learn more about ASP.NET MVC, you can read my free ASP.NET MVC PDF tutorial that covers building an end-to-end application (starting literally with File->New Project).

There were a number of great ASP.NET MVC talks at MIX this year.  Below are links to several of them:

There are also several great ASP.NET MVC tutorials at http://www.asp.net/mvc.  You can also read the ASP.NET MVC MSDN Documentation.

Download ASP.NET MVC

Click here to download and install ASP.NET MVC 1.0.  You can also install it using the new Microsoft Web Platform Installer V2 – which provides an integrated setup experience for the entire Microsoft web stack.

The ASP.NET MVC 1.0 source code is now available.  Scroll down to the bottom of the ASP.NET MVC download page and you’ll find links to both the ASP.NET MVC 1.0 integrated MSI setup, as well as a .zip file that contains the ASP.NET MVC source code.  The ASP.NET MVC source code includes a VS 2008 project file that enables you to build it.

Hope this helps,

Scott

May be this sounds funny. But if you make source code for ASP.Net also under MS-PL, it will be 10 times more stronger and flexible. I know what I am talking, but may be when the real user like me will go deep and see whats happening behind the scenes, we can better comment. And sometime its real user who invent the real use of a technology.

Scott, this is fantastic news!  The EULA in the installer seems incompatible with this milestone, however:

"2. Scope of License. The software is licensed, not sold. This agreement only gives you some rights to use the software. Microsoft reserves all other rights. Unless applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation, you may use the software only as expressly permitted in this agreement. In doing so, you must comply with any technical limitations in the software that only allow you to use it in certain ways. You may not

 * work around any technical limitations in the software;

 * reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits, despite this limitation;

 * publish the software for others to copy;

 * rent, lease or lend the software; or

 * __transfer the software or this agreement to any third party.__"

We rely on ASP.NET MVC for a couple of products that we sell to customers (for them to install locally, not in a SaaS-type environment).  That EULA clause would appear to prevent us from re-distributing ASP.NET MVC in any form (even the pre-packaged installer).  Please could you clarify?

# re: ASP.NET MVC 1.0

Thursday, April 02, 2009 6:48 AM by Will

@shailatlas - if you want to see "what's behind the scenes" in ASP.NET you can already download the source code.  It's not MS-PL - you can't do anything other than look at it, but it can still bevery useful.

I have installed this, but still this version doesn't have the implementation from MVCToolkit and I am not able to compile the MVCToolkit project also. Development done using MVCToolkit are not supported in ASP.NET 3.5 SP1. Also i have seen another assembly called MVC Futures in codeplex,i.e Microsoft.Web.Mvc. Can you please let us know whether we can wait for next version of MVCToolkit or whether it will be merged with Microsoft.Web.Mvc or System.Web.Mvc or we need to remove the code done with MVCToolkit? Also the differences between MVCFutures & ASP.NET MVC 1.0.

Now that the MVC Framework has been released you need a name a for it. How about Rails.NET or Nails? Seriously though, this breathes much needed new life into the monstrosity that ASP.NET has become. My big complaint is the 'ORM'. It is 2009 and it is unacceptable to me that I am still forced to create database tables, FKs, and write queries. And yes, LINQ is a thinly veiled query with intellisense. Really. Why don't you look into stealing Django's ORM? I prefer it over ActiveRecord anyway and they have been getting it right for _years_. But, overall I give Microsoft a solid B for its foray into modern web frameworks.

Scott, I have a few questions.

1) I have been using MVP from Web client software factory for a while.

  I can see why MVC is better because of more defined concerns but if the models are going to change every year or so. Shoud we follow MVC or wait for a more robust pattern to follow.

I shall add I used to develop with Enterprise Library. I haven't heard about that for good time.

2) Any blog or post where I can find information about how we join the RIA services with MVC? More information can be found on Brad Adams or Nikhil Kotari's blogs. Or when I say create view in MVC it actually creates a XAML page or similar??

Regards,

Deepak Chawla

If the license says one thing, and the EULA says another, which one is implemented - the one that is embedded in the product itself, or the one you have to click "OK" to when you install the app?

This could just as well be Microsoft trying to do to the Web what they did to the desktop - once a large enough portion of sites and run MVC, kill support for the OS side, and what are people going to do?

Hence, I quote Vergil:

Nice job on everything MVC!  I've downloaded your NerdDinner app and I'm trying to use the PaginatedList helper method in a new MVC app.  And for the most part it's working ok, the biggest problem I'm having is for the paging.

In the Index(int? page) action, the "page" parameter is always null.  My code is identical to yours so I don't know where this is going wrong.  Can you tell me if this is more of a routing issue, with the "Previous" or "Next" paging links, or is it a view life cycle issue?

There's no error, just "page is null".

Thanks.

Hi Scott,

Do you have any upcoming blogs on how MVC and Silverlight work with each other?

# re: ASP.NET MVC 1.0

Nice release! and long awaited if MS wanted to match products like Flex Builder.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: So far we have nice samples of monolithic Applications but how do you see MVC in the perspective a Cloud environment and Web Services components.  I'd like to see your opinion on how you would architect such applications biggest application that deal with many web services & biztalk components?

Thanks

Hi Scott,

I had few queries related to ASP.NET MVC:

1. Microsoft is heading towards two major web platforms- the Silverlight/WPF and ASP.NET MVC. Now my question is which is the best suited platform for the web applications or rather, Can we combine Silverlight with MVC to come over a better application design?

2. The MVC pattern does not always suits all the application components. Can we use the MVP with MVC in a single web application? And how robust that design will be?

Thanks!

Sandeep

Hi sandit27,

related to your first question. Silverlight is something different than ASP.NET MVC, it's the same as flash. You can use it in any HTML page, that means in MVC as well. From my point of view from these three is best to use MVC. Neither silverlight nor WPF will be indexed by robots and the returned code is much more bigger. MVC will be executed on server, Silverlight and WPF on client side (most of it). It can be nice to use WPF for BE application, where you knows that client will support them, and you want to create windows application as well.

Thanks for the info marten_cz. Thus, MVC is best when creating high performance and business critical web applications. If we want to add some fancy items, then use Silverlight or WPF. Today, I was just going through some of the blog posts provided by Scott G. The MVC and URL Routing pattern is really awesome. Thanks to Scott and Team. I would wish to meet Scott G. personally, if I get a chance to visit Redmond. In my last visit I was unable to...  :)

Here comes one more Q ...

Not all the websites provide sitemap (sitemap.xml) for the search engine crawlers. The search engines typically use the sitemap protocol for searching pages (or valid URL's) through the web site and then index the pages. Now my question is: Using URL Routing technique of ASP.NET MVC, will they (crawlers) be able to reach the entire content of the web site? Or will it become mandatory to provide a sitemap?

# re: ASP.NET MVC 1.0

Friday, May 15, 2009 9:37 AM by marten_cz

This question is not so related to ASP.NET MVC.

Crawlers use two ways how to index the content. One is the sitemap.xml file. They will use all url and crawl them. THere is information about change frequency and priority which says how important is that one particular page. When you search and found two pages with similar coontent then page with higher priority will be returned on search engine (i.e. Google).

When you not provide sitemap.xml, crawler will index the homepage, then go to all link it found on that page. It will crawl whole site, you don't need to use sitemap, but is better to have it.

Great news but I have a few doubts about the EULA in the Web Platform Installer

Could you please clarify the following part ? Is it in conflict with the MSPL ? What kind of commercial applications can be made with ASP.NET MVC ? Can we redistribute an application made with this technology to a third party ( i.e. a costumer ) ? Make commercial SaaS applications ?

How will Microsoft be distributing ASP.NET MVC moving forward?  Will it be part of .NET 3.5 SP2?  or only .NET 4.0?  I have issues getting any new DLLs onto my production environment besides what Microsoft specifically distributes.  Thanks    reten with the @ gosolstice.com
