At the moment I am trying to get into the ASP.NET MVC framework.
For most of my test applications I used a single assembly/project. This worked fine for some smaller app
(unknown) is correct. Create two projects, a class library and an MVC web project. The MVC project should reference the class library that contains the controllers and code behind files (global asax etc). Here is an example layout.
The class library should only contain .cs files and no views (.aspx/.ascx files).
MyProject.BaseSite (class library)
+ Controllers
- HomeController.cs
- ... any other controllers
- default.aspx.cs
- global.asax.cs
MVC web project should contain configs, views etc and a reference to your class library
MyProject.ExampleSite
+ Content
+ scripts
+ css
+ images
+ Views
+ Home
- index.aspx
- .. other aspx files
+ Shared
- Site.master
- web.config
Remember the different namespaces. You can then create multiple Example websites that reference the same code. This allows you to effectively skin your website completely differently.
