ASP.NET MVC
ASP.NET MVC (Model-View-Controller) is a web application framework developed by Microsoft that provides a powerful way to build dynamic web applications. It is part of the ASP.NET framework and is designed to separate the application into three main components: Models, Views, and Controllers. This separation of concerns makes it easier to manage and scale applications. Below are some key aspects and technologies related to ASP.NET MVC:
Key Concepts of ASP.NET MVC
-
Model
- Represents the application's data and business logic.
- Typically consists of classes that define the data structure and may include validation logic.
- Can interact with a database using technologies like Entity Framework or Dapper.
View
- Represents the user interface of the application.
- Views are typically created using Razor syntax, which allows for embedding C# code within HTML
- Views are responsible for displaying data to the user and capturing user input.
Controller
- Acts as an intermediary between the Model and the View.
- Receives user input, processes it (often involving the Model), and returns the appropriate View.
- Controllers are responsible for handling HTTP requests and responses.
ASP.NET MVC Features
-
- Routing : ASP.NET MVC uses a powerful routing engine that maps incoming requests to the appropriate controller and action method based on URL patterns.
- Action Filters : These are attributes that can be applied to controllers or action methods to add pre- or post-processing logic, such as authentication, logging, or caching.
- Model Binding : ASP.NET MVC uses a powerful routing engine that maps incoming requests to the appropriate controller and action method based on URL patterns.
- Validation : Built-in support for data validation using data annotations, which can be used to enforce rules on model properties.
- Dependency Injection : ASP.NET MVC supports dependency injection, allowing for better separation of concerns and easier testing.
- Areas : A way to partition a large application into smaller, manageable sections, each with its own set of controllers, views, and models.
