ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 Released
On October 1st Microsoft released ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (and ASP.NET 3.5 SP1), which builds on top of the work they did in Preview 1 released two and a half months ago.
Some of the new features that have been added to the latest version of the framework include jQuery validation library to provide client-side validation based on the model’s validation metadata, single project areas for developers who wish to organize their application without requiring multiple projects, Model Validation Providers which allow hooking in alternative validation logic to provide validation when model binding, Metadata Providers which allow hooking in alternative sources of metadata for model objects etc.
The tools for this particular release only work in Visual Studio 2008 SP1. The version of ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 for Visual Studio 2010 will be released in-the-box with Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2.
