I played around with ASP .Net MVC 2 a few years ago. It was a nice MVC framework.

Right now, I'm discovering Play Framework for Java/Scala, and it rocks much more than I remember ASP .Net MVC rocking (ASP.Net MVC 2 wasn't bad, don't get me wrong, but Play! seems to offer much more out of the box).

Is there a a C#/.Net based web framework that is similar to Play! in terms of usability/convenience/documentation/support... ?

(I won't go into details about why Play! is so great, you can read about it here - my short personal experience has been great so far).

    I'm pretty sure your looking for [Nancy](https://github.com/NancyFx/Nancy) – Raynos Nov 20 '11 at 12:55
  • Play! looks very interesting! But I'm not really sure what it offers more out of the box than ASP.NET MVC: ASP.NET MVC3 + Razor + Entity Framwork + SQL CE or SQL Server + all other libraries you need (T4MVC, StructureMap/Ninject/..., ...) conveniently via Nuget. – marapet Nov 20 '11 at 13:12

    @marapet - the thing is it just works out of the box, and has very good documentation & support. Is there a .Net project that has this level of integration out of the box? That does't require people to already know a bunch of different frameworks, but rather JustWorks™ (and allows you to configure and tweak whatever you want)? – ripper234 Nov 20 '11 at 13:15
  • It does appear to do what ASP.net MVC does, but in Java. That said, Microsoft have really been a let down with documenting MVC. The original framework was so well documented, with howto's, etc. For MVC you need to go hunting through blogs to find out how it works. – Simon Halsey Nov 21 '11 at 01:30

    Why all the close votes? – ripper234 Nov 21 '11 at 09:25

    StackOverflow should add no-index no-follow for these non-answered closed questions. This *question is interesting* and it's a shame it appears first in search results. – Ciantic Nov 10 '13 at 18:22
