ASP.NET MVC Framework
The ASP.NET MVC Framework is a web application framework that implements the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern. Based on ASP.NET, it allows software developers to build a Web application as a composition of three roles: Model, View and Controller. A model represents the state of a particular aspect of the application. Frequently, a model maps to a database table with the entries in the table representing the state of the application[citation needed]. A controller handles interactions and updates the model to reflect a change in state of the application, and then passes information to the view. A view accepts necessary information from the controller and renders a user interface to display that.[1]
In April 2009, the ASP.NET MVC source code was released under the Microsoft Public License (MS-PL).[2]
ASP.NET MVC framework is a lightweight, highly testable presentation framework that is integrated with existing ASP.NET features. Some of these integrated features are master pages and membership-based authentication. The MVC framework is defined in the System.Web.Mvc assembly.[3]
The ASP.NET MVC Framework couples the models, views, and controllers using interface-based contracts, thereby allowing each component to be easily tested independently.

View engines
The view engines used in the ASP.NET MVC 3 Framework are the Razor View Engine and the Web Forms view engine. Both view engines are part of the MVC 3 framework. By default, the view engine in the MVC framework uses Razor .cshtml and .vbhtml, Web Forms .aspx pages to design the layout of the user interface pages onto which the data is composed. However, different view engines can be used.[8] Additionally, rather than the default ASP.NET Web Forms postback model, any interactions are routed to the controllers using the ASP.NET Routing mechanism. Views can be mapped to REST-friendly URLs.[1]
Other view engines:
- The MVCContrib library contains 8 alternate view engines. Brail, NDjango, NHaml, NVelocity, SharpTiles, Spark, StringTemplate and XSLT.
- The StringTemplate View Engine utilizes a .NET port of the popular Java Templating engine, StringTemplate.
- Spark is a view engine for the ASP.NET MVC (and the Castle Project MonoRail) frameworks.
- NDjango is a port of the popular Django templating engine to .NET. It is written in F# and comes with Visual Studio extension including full Intellisense support
- Naked Objects MVC - an implementation of the naked objects pattern using ASP.NET MVC
- Razor is a view-engine developed by Microsoft and released with MVC 3 that is optimized around HTML generation using a code-focused templating approach.
