New ASP.NET MVC 3 Preview 1 Available

A new version of the ASP.NET MVC 3 web development framework is available for download . This release is preliminary, intended for community testing purposes.

In the new version, the following changes and improvements were made:

• added support for the new Razor presentation engine ;
• added dynamic properties of View and ModelView ;
• added support for dependency injection “out of the box”;
• added functionality of global filters;
• new value provider JsonValueProviderFactory ;
• support validation tools .NET 4.0 ;
• new types of action result types: HttpNotFoundResult , HttpStatusCodeResult , HttpRedirectResult .

MVC Framework 3 Preview 1 only works with .NET 4.0. Integration with Razor is still incomplete: there is no syntax highlighting and IntelliSense support, they will appear in future releases.
