ASP.NET MVC - xerocrypt/Misc GitHub Wiki

The code for ASP.NET MVC applications are separated into three layers, each layer having a specific responsibility. A page request initiates a controller action, the compiled C# executes and the HTML to be returned is generated. Initially it seems like an overly complicated design pattern in comparison to that of a conventional Web application.

Model

Mainly for modelling the data sources. Entity Framework models are added in this layer.

View

The CSHTML source files that determine how the response is presented to the user. Some JavaScript might exist here also, to extend the application's functionality.

Controller

The application's business logic exists as C# controllers.
