ASP.NET MVC web application

This section explains how to create

To learn ASP.NET MVC, we will build an Internet application.

Part 1: Create the application.

what we will build

We will build an Internet application that supports adding, editing, deleting, and listing information stored in a database.

what we will do

Visual Web Developer provides different templates for building Web applications.

We will use Visual Web Developer to create an empty MVC Internet application with HTML5 markup .

Once this blank Internet application is created, we will gradually add code to the application until it is complete. We will use C# as the programming language and use the latest Razor server code markup.

Along this line, we will explain the content, code and all components of this application.

Create a web application

If you have installed Visual Web Developer, please start Visual Web Developer and select New Project to create a new project. Otherwise you'll just have to learn by reading tutorials.

In the New Project dialog box:

Open the Visual C# template

Select template ASP.NET MVC 3 Web Application

Set the project name to MvcDemo

Set the disk location, such as c:w3cschool_demo

Click OK

When the New Project dialog box opens:

Select Internet Application template

Select Razor Engine

Select HTML5 Markup (HTML5 markup)

Click OK

Visual Studio Express will create a project similar to the one shown below:

We'll explore files and folders in the next chapter of this tutorial.
