Hello, is it a good coding standard to allow ASP.NET MVC controller actions to access a repository directly (even though a service layer is present for the heavy lifting, e.g. LoginService.Authorize() ) to retrieve, add, or update data? Or should everything go through the service, and from there to the repository? ...

If so, is it worth us...

In the hope of escaping some of the perpetual maintenance programming that seems to plague my career (and to have something to blog about), I'm going through getting .NET / ASP.NET certified. That's fine as far as th...
