We all know SO is a great solid example of a scalable site/application written in asp.net mvc. Are there any other 'live' examples I can use to pursuade clients this is the route they should be looking at for future developments and allowing their developers time to explore and learn.

It's my site. Uses Youtube api, asp.net mvc, jquery and some other goodies.

Well if you're meaning instead of an updated version, it's just that I haven't updated the site in a while. I think that was the current version when I built the site. Actually I need to update several things on the site

Dunno. I am pretty new to JQuery. Perhaps I just chose an older version by mistake. But the site has been up for several months.

Come to think of it, I think what I did is use a plug-in and downloaded sample code. No doubt the sample code was using that version and I didn't change it. Will look to update the site soon.

I see your using the update panel approach. ajax calls returning huge html fragments...

It's not an updatepanel approach. It's just that much of what comes from the Youtube API is pre-formatted HTML. In any case does that somehow disqualify it as a good application? I have written applications that use AJAX returning XML or JSON, but there are valid reasons to use each approach.

http://comicster.net is built on ASP.NET MVC, although it's a very simple example. The only data-driven parts of the site are the RSS feeds linked off the main page (using LINQ to SQL).
If nothing else, it's a good example of the nice "clean" URLs that the MVC framework allows.

thanks for th elink, not really a deal clincher since most of the links point to a lightbox containing the words "This page is under construction"
