ASP.Net MVC 1.0 in Visual Studio 2010

Is Visual Studio 2010 compatible with MVC 1.0

Hello guys,

Thanks for reading in advance.

I'm working with a MVC 1.0 project and VS2008.

I will be very glad to upgrade to VS2010, but I'm doubting about its compatibility with MVC 1.0.

Have you done it? How did it result?

Solution

  • Visual Studio 2010 will come with ASP.NET MVC 2.0 out of the box, so your best bet is converting your existing 1.0 project to 2.0.

    Your ASP.NET MVC 1.0 project should be (almost) fully compatible with ASP.NET MVC 2.0 (there are a small number of minor breaking changes). All that is required for converting the project to ASP.NET MVC 2.0 is a GUID change in the project file.

    See the ASP.NET MVC 2.0 Release Notes for more information about compatibility and conversion.
