ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 Released!

ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 has been released by Microsoft. Download it and come to our October Meeting to learn about the new features!

New features in ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 include:

• Client-Side Validation – ASP.NET MVC 2 includes the jQuery validation library to provide client-side validation based on the model’s validation metadata. It is possible to hook in alternative client-side validation libraries by writing an adapter which adapts the client library to the JSON metadata in a manner similar to the xVal validation framework.
• Areas – Preview 2 includes in-the-box support for single project areas for developers who wish to organize their application without requiring multiple projects. Registration of areas has also been streamlined.
• Model Validation Providers - allow hooking in alternative validation logic to provide validation when model binding. The default validation providers uses Data Annotations.
• Metadata Providers - allow hooking in alternative sources of metadata for model objects. The default metadata provider uses Data Annotations.
