Finally, an MVC framework for ASP.NET! This is exciting news coming from the Alt.Net conference, Scott Guthrie announces ASP.NET MVC framework that Microsoft is presently developing. Thanks to Jeffrey Palermo for posting this information. Perhaps there will be a preview release by the end of 2007.

While I cannot imagine it will be nearly as mature and robust as Monorail for some time, I do expect that it will have support for third party tools such as Telerik and CompontentArt, just to name a few. I have been able to run MR and ASP.NET in parallel, but in my opinion it adds too much complexity and limits the use of certain controls on which my applications depend. These third party tools I would rather not re-invent. In applications where I know I will not require these tools, MR is my chosen framework.

There are other MVC frameworks available, but it feels good knowing MS is going to provide their own and support it. Thanks to the community for making their voices heard for an MVC framework in ASP.NET.

I was there at the demo. It was amazing! Surprisingly full featured for such an early release. The MonoRail guys (even the Castle commiters who were present) and even some of the Ruby brigade were wowed. The plugability was particularly impressive - imagine providing the power of Brail to non MR users. Definitely expect a preview in 2007. The interesting thing is going to be what this does to MR...
