ASP.NET MVC is an open source Microsoft Technology Solution. It is a web development framework incorporating the features of MVC (Model- View-Controller) architecture, the latest ideas and techniques from agile software development services and the best features of the existing ASP.NET platform.

ASP.NET MVC is not a conceptually new thing which is built from scratch. It is a substitute to conventional ASP.NET Web forms. As it is founded on top of the existing ASP.NET, developers enjoy almost all the underlying ASP.NET features while building the MVC application.

While building a web application with ASP.NET MVC, there will be no state, page load and a page life cycle. Moreover views have to be displayed using a particular type of view engine. The default view engine can accept ASPX file. There is always an option to use anything other than ASPX files and plug in your own view engine.

You might not like the way that the MVC framework incorporates your controller, you might want to handle the job yourself. So there is the opportunity to insert custom logic to handle tasks in the MVC.

The basic thought behind using the Model View Controller design pattern is that you maintain an uncoupling of concerns. Your controller is no longer restricted with a lot of attachments to the ASP.NET runtime or attachments to the ASPX page, which is very hard to test.

Advantages of ASP.NET MVC

Following are the benefits of using ASP.NET MVC

• It is easier to deal with complexities by splitting up an application into model, view and controller.
• Allowing direct full control over the HTML and provides a clean demarcation of concern.
• Direct control over HTML offers better accessibility for executing compliance with developing Web standards.
• Enabling more interactivity and responsiveness to existing apps.
• Provides aid for test-driven development (TDD).
• Suitable for web applications that are supported by large teams of developers and for web designers who required a higher level of control over application behaviour.

The approach of MVC app development by any ASP.NET MVC development company must be determined based on the requirements and features provided by ASP.Net MVC to suit their own specific needs.
