ASP.NET MVC 2 Release Candidate Released

    imageSignificant news for all ASP.NET developers: a new version of MVC Framework 2 RC is available for download . MVC reaches the finish line and reaches the level of a candidate for release. This means that there will no longer be changes to the functionality, but bugs and incorrect behavior detected by the developer community will be actively corrected.

    On the other hand, MVC 2 RC contains a number of changes and innovations of a small plan, which are extremely useful to know about:

    * Validation scripts are moved to a separate file;
    * Validation scripts can now include both markup first and below for client optimization;
    * validation scripts support globalization;
    * the Html.ValidationSummary method can now not immediately display all validation errors, but only those that are calculated in the model so that the rest are displayed next to the controls and are not duplicated;
    * T4 templates in Visual Studio now generate code specific for the .NET Framework version
    * markup generated through Add View now contains the use of Editor, EditorFor, Display and DisplayFor;
    * Now you can declaratively set the behavior of the button and its effect on the validation of the form, causes validation or not;
    * Now you can declaratively control when validation is called: during input, after changing focus, before submitting the form;
    * the Html.Substitute method was excluded;
    * The installer now does not map scripts for IIS6 and IIS7 in Integrated Mode, if necessary, tools for independent mapping lie on codeplex.com.

    There are few changes, but as you can see they are and some of them, I personally, find it very useful. MVC 2 already looks like a very mature product, it's time to use!
