ASP.NET MVC Preview 4 has been released and includes a few built-in Action Filter Attributes to help with security, error handling, and output caching in your web applications.

S#arp Architecture: ASP.NET MVC with NHibernate and Spring

Billy McCafferty starts a new CodePlex Project, called Sharp Architecture, that leverages the very best of the ASP.NET MVC Framework, NHibernate, and the Spring Framework. Even if you don't use these tools, what a world of knowledge one can gain from looking at the code.

Spring.NET and NHibernate with ASP.NET MVC

Billy McCafferty provides code samples on how to leverage IoC and transaction management with Spring.NET and NHibernate with the ASP.NET MVC Framework to provide dependency injection of your data access objects into your controllers.

Unity IoC - Dependency Injection in ASP.NET MVC Framework Screencast

Sarasota .NET Developer Group - ASP.NET MVC Framework Introduction

Create websites using the new ASP.NET MVC Framework from Microsoft. In this presentation we will discuss how the ASP.NET MVC Framework is different from ASP.NET Webforms as well as the strengths and weaknesses of each. We will create routes, views, controllers, and controller factories as well as discuss different ways to communicate between views and controllers. We will also leverage various IoC Tools, like Castle Windsor and Unity, to inject dependencies into controllers as well as use AJAX with the ASP.NET MVC Framework.

Unity IoC and ASP.NET MVC Framework - Dependency Injection of Controllers

An updated code sample of using the Unity IoC Container with the ASP.NET MVC Framework based on the API Changes to Unity that occurred on the March 4th, 2008 Weekly Drop. Unity can be used in a CustomControllerFactory to create your MVC Controllers and inject dependencies. The sample code is modeled after the Castle Windsor Example in MVCContrib.

ASP.NET MVC Framework and Composite Web Application Block ( CWAB )

The Composite Web Application Block ( CWAB ) in the Web Client Software Factory can be used in the ASP.NET MVC Framework for business module discovery and initialization as well as dependency injection of Controllers. In this quick tutorial I will show you code snippets for doing this from my presentation at the South Florida Code Camp. We will also use the StateValue<T> Class to abstract out the fact that we store our Shopping Cart for our green tea store in Session State. Evolution of the WCSF to use the Unity Dependency Injection Container in Enterprise Library 4.0 would be a natural progression when Enterprise Library 4.0 is released.

SetDefaultControllerFactory and IControllerFactory in ASP.NET MVC Framework

Take advantage of the ability to create your own IControllerFactory in the ASP.NET MVC Framework to serve Controller Classes. Here is an example of a Custom ControllerFactory that can use Castle Windsor and SpringFramework.Net for dependency injection of controller classes.

ASP.NET MVC Framework with ASP.NET AJAX Support - AjaxController

This is huge as it contains the ASP.NET MVC Framework, a new scaffolding framework for building data-driven websites faster, several enhancements to ASP.NET AJAX, the ADO.NET Entity Framework, and Project Astoria. He also mentions that Silverlight 1.1 will be renamed to Silverlight 2.0.

ASP.NET MVC Framework Compared To Web Client Software Factory ( WCSF )

With the upcoming release of the Microsoft ASP.NET MVC Framework, one might wonder how it compares to the Web Client Software Factory ( WCSF ) and its use of Model-View-Presenter Pattern. Two big points in favor of the ASP.NET MVC Framework: Re-Use of Views and the Front-Controller as opposed to the Application Controller.

Model-View-Presenter and Model-View-Controller Comparisons

With the Model-View-Presenter Pattern being a part of the SCSF and WCSF, and the Model-View-Controller Pattern being released as part of the ASP.NET MVC Framework, one might need more clarification and a comparison of the two design patterns.

ASP.NET MVC Framework Mentioned by Scott Guthrie at Alt.Net Conference

Scott Guthrie discussed and presented the ASP.NET Model View Controller ( MVC ) Framework that his team is working on at the Alt.Net Conference. This is the same ASP.NET MVC Framework he showed off at the MVP Summit in 2007.
