So we finally got "areas" in our ASP.NET MVC framework! I'm able to get them up and going but one thing that bothers me is the amount of development servers it instantiates! So I currently have 6 areas, and when I run it I get 6 dev server instances running. Is this really necessary? MSDN is having me setup these areas as seperate we...
I know to start using areas, you have to establish parent/child relationships. I have a couple areas setup and their controllers are hitting just fine, the problem is some Views are not found. I'm trying to gain an understanding of what's happening to my controllers that are not happening with my Views. I'm very familiar with MSDN's l...

However the views for your controllers have to be in your main Views folder. The solution I present here will allow you to keep your area specific views in each area. If your proj...

Could some one please explain the advantages and disadvantages of using the new MVC2 Areas feature? I don't understand what is so great about them.
