The MVC pattern is 30+ years old! It is a powerful and elegant means of separating concerns It makes it easier to test application It promotes parallel development thanks to the loose coupling between the three main components

COMPARISON WITH ASP.NET WEB FORMS

ASP.NET MVC Hands on

WHAT WEB FORMS DOES WELL

Represent a Page as control tree Give these ser ver-side controls events like their desktop counterparts Hide as much HTTP and HTML as is reasonable Make state management as transparent as possible

WHERE WEB FORMS DOESN T FIT

ViewState is powerful, but it has its drawbacks (weight,) Page life cycle can be a nightmare Limited control over HTML Client IDs and the c t l 0 0 $ C o n t e n t P l a c e H o l d e r 1 $ U s e r C o n t r o l 1 $ T e x t B o x 1 syndrome Its nearly impossible to run a Web Form through its life cycle outside IIS

ASP.NET MVC BELIEVES

Guiding tenets:
Be extensible, maintainable, and flexible Be testable Get out of the user s way when necessary

Ser ving methods, not files Separation of concerns ScottHa said: ASP.NET MVC is Web Forms unplugged

SHOULD YOU FEAR ASP.NET MVC?

ASP.NET MVC is built on top of ASP.NET ASP.NET MVC is not a replacement for anything It is just an alternative Its a totally different approach

THE MVC PATTERN

ASP.NET MVC Hands on

14

THE MVC PATTERN

Model
objects are the parts of the application that implement the logic for the applications data domain

View
components that display the applications user interface

Controller
components that handle user interaction, work with the model, and ultimately select a view to render
ASP.NET MVC Hands on

15

MODEL
Business logic and validation of the applications data domain Totally independant from the views or the controllers Model state can be stored in memor y, database, XML files,

ASP.NET MVC Hands on

16

VIEW
Applications user interface using data from the model No interaction with the models or the controllers Views can be strongly typed Almost no code

ASP.NET MVC Hands on

CONTROLLER
Handle user interaction Quer y the model Select the right view to render
