ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Release Candidate Now Available

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Today we shipped the ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Release Candidate (RC).  Click here to download it (note: the link just went live so if it isn’t working wait a few minutes for the server you are hitting to refresh).  It works with both Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Web Developer 2008 (which is free).

Today’s RC is the last public release of ASP.NET MVC that we’ll ship prior to the final “1.0” release.  We expect to ship the final ASP.NET MVC 1.0 release next month.

In addition to bug fixes, today’s build includes several new features.  It also includes some refinements to existing features based on customer feedback.  Please read the release notes that ship with the ASP.NET MVC download for full details on all changes.  The release notes include detailed instructions on how to upgrade existing applications built with the ASP.NET MVC Beta to the RC.

WCF vs Webservices

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

How to choose between ASP.NET Web Services and WCF Services for Services?

ASP.NET Web Services are a good choice for simple HTTP-based services hosted in IIS.

WCF is a good choice if you need the performance of TCP communication over HTTP or if

you need to host the service without a Web server. WCF provides support for WS*, which

includes support for end-to-end security and reliable communication. WCF allows you to

implement duplex communication, and you can also use it with Windows Message Queuing

and as a Windows service. In addition, you have more options with regard to protocols,

bindings, and formats. Keep in mind that WCF requires .NET 3.0 or higher.
