ASP.NET MVC is a

web application framework developed by Microsoft that implements the model–view–controller (MVC) pattern. It is no longer in active development. It is open-source software, apart from the ASP.NET Web Forms component, which is proprietary
.

ASP.NET Web Pages (a platform using only Razor pages). MVC 6 was abandoned due to Core and is not expected to be released. Core is currently planned to merge into ".NET 5".[4]

Some well known sites that use ASP.NET MVC include Stack Overflow,[5] Microsoft, GoDaddy and Ancestry.com.[6][needs update]

Background

Based on ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC allows software developers to build a web application as a composition of three roles: Model, View and Controller. The MVC model defines web applications with 3 logic layers:

  • Model (business layer)
  • View (display layer)
  • Controller (input control)

A model represents the state of a particular aspect of the application. 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 information.[7]

In April 2009, the ASP.NET MVC source code was released under the

Microsoft Public License (MS-PL).[8]

"ASP.NET MVC framework is a lightweight,[9] 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."[10]

The ASP.NET MVC framework couples the models, views, and controllers using interface-based contracts, thereby allowing each component to be tested independently.[citation needed]

Apache License 2.0 release

In March 2012,

Apache License 2.0).[11]

Guthrie wrote that "Doing so will enable a more open development model where everyone in the community will be able to engage and provide feedback on code checkins, bug-fixes, new feature development, and build and test the products on a daily basis using the most up-to-date version of the source code and tests."

The source code now resides on CodePlex. ASP.NET Web Forms was not included in this initiative for various reasons.[12]
