Using the MVC Using the MVC FrameworkFramework

Client IDs:– Developers can manage control

IDs that affect rendered client ID– Remove ID bloat, and ‘mangling’

CSS:– (Ideally) remove the need to use CSS

adapters – Defer to CSS styles and bypass

existing style propertiesNon-inline style attributes

controls– Disable on control, enable on child controls– GridView/ListView work

better without view-state

Ajax higher-level components:– Ajax Control Toolkit is a part of the strategy– New controls

Centralized script libraries and break-up of libraries leads to better performance

jQuery including IntelliSense Templates and data binding:

On the client:<lu class=“sys-template”> <li>{{ Name }}</li></lu>

Asynchronous controllers Sub-controllers & views Declarative controls, form

validation + Dynamic-data:

– Patterns for CRUD and scaffolding + Ajax:

– Partial rendering, JSON …– Register scripts, and

create control and behaviors

ASP.NET MVCASP.NET MVC

Enhanced filtering:–Auto-complete, search filters and cascading filters

Enhanced meta-data: –Control over column order and filtering

New field templates:–EmailAddress, Url and Enum are more richly supported

ASP.NET Dynamic DataASP.NET Dynamic Data

Address customer pain points Improve scale and performance

Cache extensibility and performance:– Enable caching products like Velocity
