Zoom Asp.net

Asp.net MVC seems very easy but it’s not because we are used to Webforms.. MVC’s got lots of advantage over Normal Webform style.

like Webform

• does Postback (which adds unnecessary more than 20 kb of  javascript )
• has Viewstate (performance issue)
• has to go through whole page life cycle
• Uses Event based model

which are stuffs built by microsoft guys to simplify development for VB 6 User which are really not required to make a great site, although i appreciate those thing because it  helps in rapid development.

Where As Asp.net MVC is

• RESTful architecture
• Doesn’t Compromise with Performance and flexibility
• Search Engine Friendly
• Provides full control over application

drowback of RESTful architecture of ASP.net MVC

• Any public method in a controller is exposed as a controller action. You need to be careful about this. This means that any public method contained in a controller can be invoked by anyone with access to the Internet by entering the right URL into a browser. e.g. wwwxyz.com/shop/delete/10  will delete shop with ID 10.
