I'm currently present with the following situation.

We have a huge enterprise application written with WebForms. Refactoring it or completely rewriting it is out of the question. So I'm not talking about migration WebForms -> MVC.

However, I understand one can technically add MVC functionality to coexist with the rest of the project. I was asked to present MVC concepts for a team so that we can consider how it could become (or not) of use to us.

After careful thinking I do not see any ways or reasons to add MVC elements to a WebForms project since it will become a strange breed then.

Maybe there are certain not exactly obvious possibilities to add value to a WebForms project with MVC framework? Has anybody thought about it?
