ASP.NET MVC Open Source Real-world Apps

Whenever I start learning a new technology or language I tend to look at the source code of some 'real-world' applications. I find them really useful for understanding common, technology specific architecture, idioms and how/what popular libraries are used. I've recently started learning ASP.NET MVC, but haven't really found good open source apps. I was wondering if you know some worthwhile ones.

I am really interested in MVC apps that use IoC Dependency Injection libraries such as Windsor or StructureMap.

+2 A:

CarTrackr

Not sure if you can call other apps as open source or samples like NerdDinner etc.

I've had a look at NerdDinner and while it's useful for learning the basics, it is not a real-world application. I'll have a look at CarTracker, thanks.

Have a look at Oxite:

"This is a simple blog engine written using ASP.NET MVC, and is designed with a few main goals:

To exist as a base for our visitmix.com site and for our personal blogs (and for the blogs of other folks as well!)
To provide an example of 'core blog functionality' in a reusable fashion. Blogs are simple and well understood by many developers, but the set of basic functions that a blog needs to implement (trackbacks, rss, comments, etc.) are fairly complex. Hopefully this code helps.
To provide real-world code written using ASP.NET MVC that produces both valid and semantically correct markup "

Thanks Dan. This is looking very interesting.

I heard somewhere that oxite does not have good code quality. I probably heard this in some conference or meetup

CodeToGlory 2009-08-06 14:50:51

I think that may have been true of early releases (and what open source project doesn't suffer from this?) but it has been extensively refactored of late, I hear.

oops, I missed these ones. But as some of them are old posts, there may now be some new apps that did not exist at that time. Thanks Amr.

Yes, may be, but those what i remember now, also note that stackoverflow built with MVC, while its not open source.

Checkout MVC Storefront on codeplex. If you google it, you can find video tutorials on how the whole project is built and what technologies are being used.
