Is there a non-microsoft / open-source MVC framework for ASP.net ?

Question

I have seen in the past that before MS takes a dash at something, there is awareness in the .net community for it already. I am talking here about the ALT NET and Open Source folks who are like " If MS has come up with Entity Framework, we have NHibernate ". I was just wondering if an MVC framework exits that is worth looking at which is not built by MS.

Is there any? Is it microsoft's moment to be the first to come up with something like it ?

Answer 1

MonoRail (existed before the official MVC project)

FubuMVC (created after, still in early stages)

Also, if you're not tied to the Microsoft platform there are tons of others: Ruby on Rails, CakePHP, Django, Spring (Java) and more.

Answer 2

Microsoft completely ripped Monorail...I think they even hired the head developer (of MonoRail) to work on the MVC.Net project as well

Answer 3

There's also ProMesh.NET

Answer 4

If you think of an open source MVC, try Microsoft's ASP.Net MVC.
It is opened under Microsoft Public License (source: Heise Newsticker, German and ScottGu's Blog).

Probably it helps :)
