What is MVC?

MVC ?• MVC is successor of ASP.NET So Before going to discuss about MVC lets little bit talk about

Asp.Net.

• It is a part of .NET framework developed by Microsoft.

• It is used to Create Web Application(Internet Application).So that every one can access

this application from anywhere.

• This application will be access thru Web Browser( Firefox, Chrome. Internet Explorer etc)

by passing URL in url bar.

• This application will be stored & execute on server.

Like: www.google.com , www.prognoztech.com , www.amazon.com are internet

application we are accessing thru url.

MVC (Continue…)

• There are a lot of other programming language( a language that machine

understand) used to create Internet application,

1. Java

2. PHP

3. CGI

4. ASP

Disadvantage of ASP.NET

• There are a lot of code required to create Web(Internet) Application using ASP.NET,

• MVC make it simple by categorize the structure of Asp.Net in 3 parts.

• Lets talk about ASP.NET internet development model in details:

ASP.NET supports three different development models

Differences between these development models are:

MVC Programming Model• MVC is one of three ASP.NET programming models.

• MVC is a framework for building web applications using a MVC (Model View

Controller) design:

1) The Model represents the application core (for instance a list of database records).

2) The View displays the data (the database records).

3) The Controller handles the input (to the database records).

Why MVC?  

• ASP.NET MVC helps to reduce the complexity of the web application by dividing an

application into three layers, Model, View and Controller.

• This separation (loose coupling) helps in some long term benefits like isolation of

components while development and also this separation provides better support for

test-driven development (TDD).

• ASP.NET MVC web site are good in performance and also easy to maintain. 

How to Install MVC?

• Before going to install mvc first check what version of MVC already installed in Your

computer.

• To check what MVC version already installed in My Machine open control panel then

open add or remove programs dialogue box.

How to Download MVC 3 & MVC 4?

EX

Introduction of ASP.NET MVC 4• ASP.NET MVC 4 is a framework for building scalable, standards-based web

applications using well-established design patterns and the power of ASP.NET and

the .NET Framework.

• Currently ASP.NET MVC 4 is supported in Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012,

previous versions of Visual Studio does not support ASP.NET MVC 4 as of now.

• If you don’t have ASP.NET MVC 4 in your box then install MVC 4 for Visual Studio

2010 or else use Visual Studio 2012 to get started with this.

Creating First Asp.Net MVC Application

Step-1• If you choose .NET Framework 3.5 you are not able to see MVC 3 & 4 option in new

Project Box.

Step-2• If you choose .NET Framework 4.0 Then

Step-3• If you choose .NET Framework 4.0 Then

Step-8

Step-9

Advantage of MVC over Asp.Net WebForms in details ?

MVC vs. WebForms

MVC vs. WebForms• In WebForms whenever I want to execute any event say Button_Click() before that

page life cycle will execute first (you like or not doesn’t keep matter).

Page Life Cycle execute FirstThen event

MVC vs. WebForms

MVC vs. WebForms• In MVC direct hit come to action(method you want to be run)

Example

How to determine what version of mvc is being used by an existing mvc web application ?

MVC Version info in existing Application

There are two ways :

1. At design time

2. At runtime

Asp.net mvc namespace:

Version Info:

At runtime

Compare Asp.Net MVC & Web Application

1. Asp.Net MVC Application:

2. Web Application:

MVC URL

http://localhost:1927/Home/Index

Server

Functions in Controller are generally called as Controller Action Methods.

In MVC’s URL are mapped to Controller Action Methods.

Web Form URL

http://localhost:1928/WebForm1.aspx

Server

In WebForm’s URL are mapped to physical Files.

How to deploy application on IIS

1. Open IIS(start->run->type inetmgr)
