ASP.NET MVC Web Application Advantages

The ASP.NET MVC Framework is a new framework and have the following advantages over Web Forms approach (means over ASP.Net):

   The ASP.NET MVC framework brings better support to test-driven development.

3. Extensible and pluggable

   ASP.NET MVC framework components were designed to be pluggable and extensible and therefore can be replaced or customized easier then Web Forms.

4. Full control over application behavior

   ASP.NET MVC framework doesn’t use View State or server based forms like Web Forms. This gives the application developer more control over the behaviors of the application and also reduces the bandwidth of requests to the server.

5. ASP.NET features are supported

   ASP.NET MVC framework is built on top of ASP.NET and therefore can use most of the features that ASP.NET include such as the providers architecture, authentication and authorization scenarios, membership and roles, caching, session and more.

6. URL routing mechanism

   ASP.NET MVC framework supports a powerful URL routing mechanism that helps to build a more comprehensible and searchable URLs in your application. This mechanism helps to the application to be more addressable from the eyes of search engines and clients and can help in search engine optimization.
