Good news is that ASP.NET MVC’s final version will be released next month, in February 2009.

Some important changes might be listed as below.

• “Create Controller” action in Visual Studio context menu in Solution Explorer.
• “Add View” action in Visual Studio context menu inside an Action method’s body. This will let you create an empty View or a View that has been specially created for the type that is being passed as a parameter to the View. E.g.: return View(user) will create a basic View that has “user” entity’s type’s properties.
• Ability to customize any kind of templates being used by MVC using T4 (Text Template Transformation Toolkit) – further reading. Both machine-wide and project-wide!
• RC release now includes a out of the box MSBuild task so you can compile the views within your ASP.NET MVC project.
• Views can work without Code-Behind files. You can still use the advantages of strongly typed base type. E.g.: Inherits=”System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<MyCustomType>”
• To access the Model’s data, you don’t need to use “ViewData.Model” anymore. “Model” is a top-level property from now on. “ViewData.Model” still works though.
• An out of the box MSBuild task is included in the setup if you want to compile the code within the views.
• You are not required to use Bind attribute with Prefix value set to an empty string [Bind(Prefix="")] by the default behavior.
• Supports protection to “Cross-site request forgery” attacks with an out of the box attribute: ValidateAntiForgeryToken. You may apply this attribute to the actions that you want to protect.
• FileResult (an out of the box ActionResult) to response a file instead of some other views using an action. Also there is the new File() method to create and return a file.
