Does Visual Studio 2013 Express for Web allow creating MVC applications and hybrid apps that are MVC as well as usable on mobile devices?
VS2013 Express for Web allows for creating any ASP.NET projects that the full version can create. This includes MVC, WebForms, and WebAPI. It is a perfectly viable tool for any web site; the features you'll miss from the full version are tooling features such as performance and code analysis, extensibility features (of VS), etc.

I have been reading several blogs, and found debugging steps for ASP.NET Core applications using Visual Studio Code editor. But I need to know about debugging ASP.NET MVC(3,4,5) applications using VS Code - the ASP.NET MVC versions before ASP.NET Core.
I know very well about working & debugging in Visual Studio (2015, 2017). But I would like know about that debugging support in Visual Studio Code for ASP.NET MVC apps and it support versions.
I am using Windows 8, and Visual Studio 2012. I need to create a ASP.NET MVC web application. But, when i click on Project types --> visual C# i only see windows store and not Web (as seen in VS 2008).
How can i create a MVC web application ? Help
I suspect you are using Visual Studio Express for Windows 8?
If so, you will also need Visual Studio Express for Web in order to create your MVC app.
See the different versions here: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-express-products
u can also user WebMatrix to create aps.net mvc project
it's free tool for asp.net from microsoft
u can get WebMatrix from here http://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/
During the install, there should have been options, one of which was Visual Web Developer. Make sure that was installed (that was what it was called in VS 2010).
A lot of release notes for Visual Studio 2012 talk about .NET 4.5 and MVC4, but I can't tell if MVC4 is actually part of the .NET 4.5 release. Anybody know for sure? I would love not to have to install MVC separately on my server.
No, ASP.NET MVC 4 is baked into VS2012, exactly the same way ASP.NET MVC 3 was baked into VS2010 but not part of .NET 4.0 (there was a separate download that you could install on your servers). But there will also be a separate download of ASP.NET MVC 4 for VS2010 SP1 in which you obviously won't be able to use the .NET 4.5 specific features, such as async/await, but you will still be able to develop an ASP.NET MVC 4 application and target .NET 4.0.
ASP.NET MVC has made a point of NOT being tied to a particular .NET incarnation. That way, you can use the latest and greatest irrespective of what .NET version your hosting provider uses.
If the provider supports ASP.NET, that's all you need to know.
For this precise purpose, ASP.NET MVC is bin-deployable, meaning you can deploy the MVC dlls yourself, along your application - without requiring special rights from the hosting provider.
Phil Haack has a great article describing how to bin-deploy MVC3. There's even tooling support in VS for this scenario!
I assume the workflow for newer MVC incarnations is similar.
I have a web application built with ASP.NET MVC 1 in Visual Studio 2008.
How do I migrate this web application to Azure? All the tutorials are either for Visual Studio 2010 or don't work anymore. I've installed the Web Platform Installer and the Azure SDK, and in VS2010 the Azure project template is available, but not in VS2008. I've checked alot of guides, but all the download links on MSDN for anything Visual Studio 2008 related seem to be broken.
My idea was just to add an Azure deployment project to the solution, add the references to the right Azure libraries, and deploy, but I can't even get that far since I have no idea where to begin.
Much of the MVC stuff in my application is highly customized, making a migration to ASP.NET MVC 2/3/4 difficult. And since it's MVC 1, which has no tooling support for Visual Studio 2010, I would preferably avoid a migration to Visual Studio 2010.
You can go about this in two ways. You can either use cspack to package up the code and deploy to Azure or you can install an older SDK that supports Visual Studio 2008:
CSPack: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg432988.aspx
Older SDKs: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/downloads/archive-net-downloads/
I know 1.1 installed on VS2008 and I know 1.4 does not, not sure about the ones in between.
Is it possible to develop ASP.NET MVC with MS Visual C# 2008 Express Edition and IIS?
The tutorial states that 'Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Web Developer 2008 Express' are required.
You can't develop an ASP.NET (MVC or otherwise) using Visual C# 2008 Express without a big kludge. C# Express is mainly for Windows applications.
What you can do is download and install Visual Web Developer 2008 Express. This edition is for ASP.NET developer (in C# or VB.NET). Unlike the Standard or Professional, with Express the functionality is split into 4 seperate packages - C# Express for C# desktop development, VB.NET Express for VB.NET desktop development, C++ Express for C++ desktop development, and Web Developer Express for any type of ASP.NET development. You can download and install all 4 of these on the same machine (they should even share the same copy of MSDN Express).
If you want it all in one IDE, you need to pay for Standard or Professional.
Oh, and just make sure you download the SP1 version of Web Developer 2008 Express, it's really annoying trying to install SP1 on the Express editions (or at least it is if you have some other versions of VS on the same machine), and you need SP1 to install MVC.
It's definitely possible. I haven't really used the Express editions enough to know what is easier or more difficult in one edition or another but the Web Developer edition is also free.
An easy way to do this is to get the Web Platform Installer. It installs everything you need to get going with web dev. Some have claimed that its vista only, but I was able to use it to install it on XP HOME on my asus netbook.
Yes. I have installed some of the previews. You just don't get MS Test.
Edit: That was with VS Express Web Developer Edition, however.
What do you mean regarding running ASP.NET MVC projects? To run it, you'd need a Web server rather than Visual Studio. For development, you can develop a class library in C# Express that will be used in an ASP.MVC app but project templates are only available for Web development product line (Visual Web Developer or full VS)
Update to reflect OP edit: To develop apps effectively, you'll need Visual Web Dev or VS. There's no point in not using VWD Express as it's free.
At least Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition SP1 requred. I think it's just enough for ASP.NET MVC development if you are not working in the team. There are a lot of great 3d-party testing frameworks - you are not constrained only to MS Test.
