ASP.NET MVC Codeplex Preview 5

ASP.NET MVC Codeplex preview 5 went live last night. Available here. I haven't had a dig into it yet to have (just downloading now), but according to the release notes, some of the highlights include:

  • More support for partial view rendering
  • Moving AJAX support into its own namespace (System.Web.Mvc.Ajax) to make it easier to swap it out and replace it with your own choice, such as jQuery.
  • Complex types as parameters of action methods (some discussion of this already in my post http://weblogs.asp.net/melvynharbour/archive/2008/07/30/clean-separation-of-concerns-in-mvc.aspx and the associated forum thread).
  • Various other tweaks and improvements particularly to helper methods.

The source code apparently follows shortly!
