How to integrate asp.net mvc to Web Site Project

Question

As I mentioned in title, I have a huge WEB SİTE PROJECT, and I want to add MVCinto it.

I have followed some tutorials about it but all of them are about integrating

Answer 1

There are numerous blog posts on how to get MVC to work with ASP.NET Web Applications. However there are still scenarios where we are using normal ASP.NET website projects rather than Web Application projects.

Below are the steps to enable MVC 3 with an asp.net website project

1. Install ASP.NET MVC 3

2. Modify web.config

Open up web.config in Visual Studio and add the following lines inside the section

3. Modify global.asax

Next you will need to add in the code for MVC triggers inside global.asax (create one if it does not exist)

Add the following lines after <%@ Application Language="C#" %>

Add the following after

add the following inside application_start

At this point, your global.asax should look like

4. Creating the controller

Because this is a website project, compilation is at runtime, so you will have to create your controllers inside the App_Code folder rather than the normal Controller folder in the main site

Note that your controller class needs to end with the Controller keyword. In the example, with a controller = “Home”, the classname for the controller needs to be HomeController

To add your first controller, right click on the App_Code folder and create a new class with the file name as HomeController.cs

Paste the following code into the HomeController.cs (replace everything)

5. Test the site

Now that you have generated the routing and created the controller, browse to localhost/home. You should see “Hello World”
