I'm struggling to find a good reference application for ASP.NET MVC. By "reference", I specifically mean an application that flexes all of the framework's features in the Microsoft-sanctioned manner, such as:

  • Master pages
  • Partial views
  • Strongly-typed models
  • Authentication
  • Custom routes
  • etc...

The open source examples that are out there (CodeCampServer, SutekiShop) either add significantly to the base framework or don't use all of the baked-in features.

Have you seen Rob Connery's MVC Storefront Webcast Series?

Maybe I'm just having a bad day at Finding Things on The Internet, but where's the code? I'm not particularly interested in watching 12 hours of video...

Ahh, thanks. Just FYI to any others -- the source code was removed in Dec 2008, so you need go to a prior commit to see or download it: http://www.codeplex.com/mvcsamples/SourceControl/changeset/view/17126

I asked more or less the same question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/499319/what-are-some-projects-which-are-examples-of-best-pratices-for-asp-net-mvc

As for official, the closest would be Rob Connery's which was mentioned.

Snap! This looks like it has a lot (if not all) of what I'm looking for... http://www.codeplex.com/TheBeerHouse/SourceControl/ListDownloadableCommits.aspx

This isn't official but you could check out Kigg: http://www.codeplex.com/Kigg

It's a sizable Asp.net MVC Digg-clone with some decent code in it. Used on dotnetshoutout.com
