    This is the fourth in a series of blog posts I’m doing on ASP.NET vNext. The next releases of .NET and Visual Studio include a ton of great new features and capabilities. With ASP.NET vNext you’ll see a bunch of really nice improvements with both Web Forms and MVC – as well as in the core ASP.NET base foundation that both are built upon. Today’s post is the second of three posts that talk about the new Model Binding support coming to Web Forms. Model Binding is an extension of the existing...

    ASP.NET MVC 3 supports a new view-engine option called “Razor” (in addition to continuing to support/enhance the existing .aspx view engine). Razor minimizes the number of characters and keystrokes required when writing a view template, and enables a fast, fluid coding workflow. Unlike most template syntaxes, with Razor you do not need to interrupt your coding to explicitly denote the start and end of server blocks within your HTML. The Razor parser is smart enough to infer this from your co...
