Where is an example of a Complex ASP.net MVC model?

Question

I'm looking for an example of a more complex asp.net mvc model. All of the Models I've seen on the ASP.net site are very, very simple and involve only one or two database tables.

I'm curious as to how mvc works with more complex models with many tables and ternary relationships.

Answer 1

If you're curious, why don't you try it out? Create or use a complex database and try to prototype some basic crud operation on this DB using ASP.NET MVC.

Answer 2

Also have a look at:

In the end it still comes down to CRUD operations on your models. The only question is how not to organize it in such a way that it doesn't become a mess. I find the use of Areas (planned to be build in to the next version of MVC) very handy.
