ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Released!

newdotnetlogo_2_thumb Today I’m happy to write that ASP.NET MVC 1.0 RTW (Release To Web) is now officially released.

This was one of several announcements ScottGu made at the Mix 09 conference today, which I unfortunately missed because I was on a plane to Vegas enroute to Mix 09. I was busy back at the mother ship making sure everything was in order for the release.

Woohoo!

It’s been nearly a year and a half since I joined Microsoft and started working on it and what a ride it’s been.

Some highlights during that time:

We shipped our unit tests using a third party OSS mock framework on CodePlex.
We bundled jQuery, a third party OSS JavaScript framework, with ASP.NET MVC itself.
I gave my first PDC talk covering the basics of ASP.NET MVC.
We shipped the RTM!

With ASP.NET MVC, we wanted to release early and often providing a lot of transparency with our design process. We made a lot of changes based on user feedback. All in all, I counted 10 releases:

A great way to learn about ASP.NET MVC is to go to the website, http://asp.net/mvc/. Also be sure to check out the free eBook which contains Chapter 1 of Professional ASP.NET MVC. This chapter contains an end-to-end walkthrough of building an application with ASP.NET MVC.

We also have an updated set of documents on MSDN worth checking out.

A great way to install ASP.NET MVC is via the new Web Platform Installer. I highly recommend it. Not only can you install ASP.NET MVC using it, but many other free applications such as one of my favorites, Subtext!

# re: ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Released!

Congratulations! And, as someone who is shipping commercial software, today, based on earlier versions of the framework, thank you!

I just wrote a long explanation of how Routing and MVC interact. If you get the chance, I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look and see if I've made any mistakes:

# re: ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Released!

Going from RC 1 to MVC 1.0 I get the following error.

"The project type is not supported by this installation" - whats the best approach to fix this?

Thanks,

Matthew Mar 18, 2009 2:51 PM

# re: ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Released!

Okay I ran the installed again and it worked fine! Sorry for the hassles.

# Install doesn't work

Great news, but I can't install it... :-(
The setup fails while trying to install the VS templates. "devenv /setup" crashes (also when I try to call that manually).

Awesome news Phil and congratulations! Its been a long journey but I'm glad to have hitched a ride.

JIT too, we're doing a UAT deployment of a project written using ASP.NET MVC for a Victorian State Government initiative, and couldnt have had the RTM baked and ready at a better time!

# re: ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Released!

Congratulations guys! I've been a huge fan of the MVC Framework since the first 07 release and I gotta say - you guys never disappointed me once. From what I can tell, you revolutionized the way MS put out a product. By going grass-roots and bringing in the community for advise, you in essence truly let us help shape the next evolution to web development.

Thanks, and I look forward to watching it explode across the scene even more than it already has.

ASP.NET MVC 1.0 RTM will be officially released at http://www.microsoft.com/events/mix/default.mspx
MIX09 by Scott Guthrie at his Day One Keynote on this Wednesday, March 18th . That's my unofficial prediction.
Since it's in Las Vegas, I probably should be running a lottery pool on this.

Brill News!

One question, what has happened to Subsonic? I thought this was going to be used as the standard DAL for MVC but all seems very quiet.

congratulation Phil Haack and all the team involved, Great Job!

it feels like it has been just yesterday when I was reading a "dark blog" with many many pictures (and many more comments) of one enthustiastic coder (not a noble Vice-President at that time;-) known as "Scott" all around the ASP.NET community and saying "seperation of concerns" at least 1000 times a minute;)

now we have a real metal but in our hands but somehow I fell I'll miss the betas, new ideas, developement cycle/changes/infos and so on (and so forth), strange...

still, it's great to have it, and forward to ASP.NET Futures!

Hi
I know you're a famous .net engineer.
Here I recommend a good webhosting which can support Asp.net MVC with a lowering price
Please refer to the page

# re: ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Released!

excellent and awesome news! I am so exicted with this new technology and I have already had a chance to play it out. My current host (asphostcentral.com) does support it and honestly speaking, I was amazed the the capability of MVC Framework.

I do not have to spend times to redirect my pages anymore as MVC provides a way to route all hte 404 Error Pages. This is just one of the fantastic feature in MVC Framework!!!

# re: ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Released!

Great work. Looking forward to your book as well. The RC release has been awesome to work with while porting my application from 2.0 with page lifecycle to 3.5 MVC. Very well done. Cheers.
