ASP.NET MVC Preview 3
Bit slow on this having just got back from holiday but Scott has blogged about the latest "official" preview release of the MVC framework. I call it an "official" release to distinguish it from the interim source releases we're making on Codeplex.
A number of things jumped out at me. Firstly the changes to controller actions allowing you to return an ActionResult indicating the desired result of the action method which makes it much easier to create tests for controller actions.
The Html helper classes have had some updates and I see routing benefits from some additional helpers as well as a richer route mapping syntax. The routing engine itself will ship in .NET 3.5 SP 1 and supports both MVC and Web Forms. See my post here and subsequent post here for more details on Web Forms.
I'm now in a bit of no-man's land where my machine's concerned. I need to install .NET Fx 3.5 Sp 1 but don't want to break Silverlight Tools. But it seems pointless installing ASP.NET MVC Preview 3 when we should have compatible Silverlight Tools very soon. Oh, what to do...?
