Hanselminutes on 9 - ASP.NET MVC 3 and NEW ASP.NET Futures with Phil Haack and Morgan the Intern

The Discussion

• 

  I can't wait to move to this.

   

  I'm going to get to delete so much code.

• 

  Sorry, off-topic, but: Separated at birth? Below is a picture of Austrian radio host Peter L. Eppinger

  ViewData vs. ViewModel... that's sort of unnecessary complexity to MVC. My vote is for ViewDataDictionary to inherit from IDynamicMetaObjectProvider so that we can have the best of both worlds with 1 concept. But that's just me....

• 

  Another great video. Love this more candid style.

   

  Looking forward to trying out MVC 3

• 

  lol. Nice sense of humor.

• 

  Will my issue be solved in MVC3?

  Dynamic Dictionaries are really easy to create in .NET 4, I did a post on it here: http://www.aaron-powell.com/dynamic-dictionaries-with-csharp-4 and although you do loose the intellisense capabilities I think that'd be a small price to pay to have a simplified data management method.

  Having ViewData and ViewModel could get confusing (unless ViewModel is just a wrapper on ViewData) and it'd make testing harder as you need to ensure that the data is being added to the "right" collection.

  that is good team. i know Phil Haack' blog and tutorials. i don't understand main goal of MVC 3. maybe my English is poor

• 

  Hey Now Scott,

  Great Vid! 

   

  Thx 4 the info,

  Catto

• 

  cool, but i think it'll be rally confusing that the "ViewModel" property is called "View" when you're in the view (and only in the Razor view)

   

  sure its terse, but you have no way of deducing where that property comes from unless you do some digging

• 

  Is there still a need for ViewData to pass arguments to a Master page or an EditorFor template partial view? What is the reason for limiting a view to a single model object?  Would be neat to be able to pass arguments from a view to a master page.

• 

  So where's Morgans CSS Sprite generator? It looks great.

• 

  Meaning...?

• 

  What I loved about this was peeking over the shoulder of two developers working hard on ASP.NET.  It doesn't matter that it was more candid and had mistakes and issues.  You can see a lot of thought is going into this work.  It's not fluff and it's being driven by these developers.  It really breaks down some of the misguided idea that it's a monolithic organization moving in lockstep.

• 

  hahahah burns your retina display... no this is a flip.... hahah

• 

  outstanding job!

• 

  I need to change alot of code at my end, but it rocks! :)
  
  See i'm blushing!
