I don't know much about MVC, but I have a project where I think I could use a lot of the functionality of ASP.NET MVC based KIGG. At the same time I have a HTML/jQuery based template.

How should I approach this?

What I am kind of hoping is that I can easily pick Views with behindlaying objects from KIGG, and then easily modify it.

Is this a realistic approach?

Can I really expect it to be easier than working from a conventional ASP.NET app?

  • If you have html templates I'dd say MVC is the easiest way to go. Webforms expects you to use it's custom controls like `DataGrid` etc. – Alxandr Nov 14 '10 at 05:06

There are tradeoffs. One is not more or less easy to work with than the other. If you need:

  • Clean URLs
  • Precision control over markup
  • Highly unit-testable code

MVC removes the hurdles to these. However, MVC has higher barriers to:

  • Highly stateful web forms (that's why the other solution is called "WebForms")
  • Actually that's pretty much it, but it's a big one.

It's up to you to pick the one that helps you achieve your goals for a specific project.
