Does any one know about any real application built on asp.net MVC framework. I am not talking about opensource projects as I am pretty much aware of it.

I am more interested in knowing about any commercial website like banking, ecommerce or any other line of business application that's built on this framework.

EDIT: Clarification regarding opensource. I am pretty much aware of opensource projects and they are great. What I am looking for is commercial business application that's made on this framework.

If you visit What is ASP.NET MVC? and scroll to the bottom there is a list of sites that use ASP.NET MVC including stackoverflow.com.

Yes, I have built a commercial "line of business" application on ASP.NET MVC 1.0. We started development on the site when the framework was in beta; and released the site this summer. We are completely happy with our technology choice. Unfortunately I really can't say much more, as my employer would not welcome it.

I'm not sure about the OP's intent; do you mean to get validation of the MVC pattern for very large codebases, i.e. 200 kloc or larger codebases? I can't give you that, and I doubt anyone else really can right now, because there simply hasn't been time to develop so large codebases since the release of ASP.NET MVC. I would suggest researching MVC in Java, as this is probably where you'll find most older & large MVC deployments.

My usual counterargument to the 'very large codebase' fear is you simply shouldn't design so large monolithic apps anymore -- break up the responsibilities and use a SOA architecture to reduce complexity for each individual area of responsibility.

For a webapp on the .NET stack I'd select ASP.NET MVC again with complete confidence. That said, there are many other good choices in webapp frameworks these days.
