Sample application for asp.net mvc - asp.net-mvc

I have worked on asp.net 2.0 years ago and recently worked on SL and WPF applicaiton have idea on mvvm. As my next project would be on ASP.net MVC DotNet FW 3.5, I was looking for sample application code using MVC any links\forum on this would be of gr8 help.
Welll I was going through http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-music-store/mvc-music-store-part-3 and noticed the view uses cshtml file extension rather aspx and was confused. Please, point me to some refernces to start as a biggner.

First of all i'd recommend MVC4 and .Net 4.
The easiest way to learn is create a new project using the default MVC 4 internet project template. It has all the basics covered.
The most important about MVC is that you forget about webpages being files on disk. The .aspx and .cshtml files in MVC are views returned by a controller. A controller is a class which has functions, called Actions in MVC terms. If you have an url /Home/Index MVC would call function Index in controller class Home.

The .cshtml extension is used by view template files rendered by the ASP.Net MVC3 Razor View Engine. I often find videos to be great introductions to topics about which I want to learn more.

DevExpress ASP.NET - Want to use Razor without MVC

I test the DevExpress (DX) ASP.NET
I want to make website with DX and Razor view.
When I create a new Web Project. I can choose between :
DXperience v12.2 ASP.NET Web Application
DXperience v12.2 ASP.NET MVC Web Application
In the choice 1, I can't choose the view language, Visual Studio create an ASPX website.
If I choose MVC, in the creation wizard, I can choose Razor or ASPX.
My question is can I create a website using Razor view without the MVC ?
I don't know the MVC pattern and be affraid to learn it now, I don't understand the logic inside it...
Depending on what you are specifically looking to do, you should check out RazorEngine - it lets you render HTML from Razor without alot of the scaffolding that you will have to do in order to use Razor like MVC uses Razor...

Side-by-Side Asp.Net and MVC Razor

We have an existing ASP.Net Web Application. I would like to create an ASP.Net MVC Razor Application where the two applications will work together. A single Master Page would contain menu items that can call .aspx pages as well as Razor .cshtml pages.
I have seen an example using MvcContrib Portable areas utilizing Routing. This particular example has .aspx pages in both (the MVC was not Razor).
Is there an example out there that will show the two running side-by-side and the MVC is Razor? It would be best if I could download a visual Studio Solution so that I can run this.
I am not sure if the MvcContrib way is the latest and best way to achieve this.
I do not want to go Hybrid!
You don't need any other external librarry. You can always convert the existing ASP.NET web forms Project to be a Hybrid one which uses webforms and MVC. You need to add the required MVC assembly references and make some changes to the web.config and you are all set. Scott has a simple and awesome blog post about this where he explains how to do the conversion.
I scribbled a note about how to enable the MVC specific Context menu( Add Controller / Add View) in the hybrid project after conversion here

Separate dll in an ASP.NET webform + MVC website?

I have an asp.net webform website and added a new part in asp.net MVC 1.0.
For an easy maintenance I would like to separate the code into 2 dll, one for webform part and second for MVC part.
If my website is named 'TheWeb', then I only get a single dll named TheWeb.dll
Is it possible and how to proceed ?
Thanks
Sinn'
In your solution add a second project. You get a DLL for each project.

Mixing VB ASP.NET and C# ASP.MVC projects in a single solution
Ok, couple of different things here.
Can a ASP.NET forms project exist in the same solution? Yes
Can you mix MVC with WebForms in the same project? No
Can a MVC site communicate with a WebForms site? Yes, you can easily pass between via simulated form submission or by URL. You could also configure cookies to work across both sites.
Can you have an MVC site and a WebForms site use the same url? No

Why are there designer files (*.designer.cs) in ASP.NET MVC?

What's the point of the auto-generated 'designer' files in ASP.NET MVC Web Apps?
I'm trying out ASP.NET MVC (coming from ASP.NET Webforms projects), so I'm used to just having the one code file with each ASP.NET markup file (.aspx, .ascx etc.). Can I use the code beside model with MVC Apps instead as less files seems simpler?
Thanks.
The designer.cs files are a hold over from Web Application projects (which MVC is a derivative of). Along with the regular code behind files, they are no longer needed with the latest MVC RC.
