ASP.NET MVC 2 Released

Scott Guthrie just announced yesterday that ASP.NET MVC 2 final release is available for VS 2008/Visual Web Developer 2008 Express with ASP.NET 3.5.

ASP.NET MVC 2 Features

  • New Strongly Typed HTML Helpers
  • Enhanced Model Validation support across both server and client
  • Auto-Scaffold UI Helpers with Template Customization
  • Support for splitting up large applications into “Areas”
  • Asynchronous Controllers support that enables long running tasks in parallel
  • Support for rendering sub-sections of a page/site using Html.RenderAction
  • Lots of new helper functions, utilities, and API enhancements
  • Improved Visual Studio tooling support
  • Can run side-by-side with MVC 1 (meaning you can have some apps built with V1 and others built with V2 on the same machine)

If you’re planning to use Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Web Developer 2010, they will have ASP.NET MVC 2 built-in.
