MVC (Model View Controller) is today, a popular and well-liked framework by Microsoft, known for its
innovative functionalities in web page building and website development along with HTML, CSS,
JavaScript in Microsoft Application Development. There are three main components on which .NET rely,
which are more of programming models viz. Web pages, MVC and Web Forms.
Of late, Microsoft has come up with its latest version, the ASP .NET MVC 5.2. Let us go through the
framework so as to understand why it is getting popular and what its USP is.
The MVC Model
It is an ASP .NET development model and a framework which is used to build web applications using a
Model – View – Controller design, wherein the three different components imbibe varied roles. Since
the model has a complete hold over HTML, CSS and JavaScript, it shows the application core and the
controller has a strong control over the database inputs.
Let us glance through each layer to see what role it plays:

3.  Model
This layer of application is primarily targeting the management and maintenance of the logic for
the application data.
 View
This layer handles the data display portion.
 Controller
It manages the user interaction part.
The primary attraction of MVC architecture is the easy management and implementation of complex
applications wherein there is least dependency amongst all the three layers and equal attention on each
of them. Since the work gets distributed, the developers breathe in air in their own compartmental
layer, they are working in. Hence, this model proves to a light weight, integrated and secure framework,
also knitting in the features of the traditional ASP .NET web forms model.
Salient Features of ASP .NET MVC
 Since it has a customizable framework, there are options of plugging in independent view
engines.
 Because of segregation of layers, there is ease of handling complexity.
 Due to the parallel existence of different logic layers, the developers find it easy to control
the entire process of development since the layers get divided between them and hence it is
easy to manage. There is total control of the application with the developers.
 Availability of certain prominent and important features such as URL authentication,
membership and roles, Forms authentication as existing in the original .NET
 Presence of ASP .NET routing features which lets the system handle searchable URLs.
 Availability of an enriched routing infrastructure because of presence of a Front controller
pattern.
 Recommended for teams with larger size and for developers who look for higher control on
the application.
Let us look at the highlighted features of ASP .NET MVC 5.2, which is the latest release up till
now:
 Updation and modification of route prefixes in centralized places
 Changes in Attribute routing
 Controller filtration
 In attribute routes, automatic generation of route names
The latest version is proving to be gaining popularity amongst the developers as well as the end users.
Let us wait and watch for more to come.
