ModelCore of your Application

Contains business logic , data models( View Models), Validation… etc

Any data access technology can be used like Entity Framework, ADO.NET or any other

ControllerControls the execution flow

Executes logic, Load the data and chooses the view

Can call other controller, redirect to other URLs

ViewResponsible for displaying UI. Contains information for presentation, formatting, searching, sorting..

Knows the models and display the data accordingly (No logic here)

HTML helpers are used for generating the mark up

Can be used with loosely typed and strongly typed data

HTML Helpers A static methods that returns the html string

Can have our own custom HTML helper methods

Few are like◦ Html.ActionLink()◦ Html.BeginForm()◦ Html.CheckBox()◦ Html.DropDownList()◦ Html.EndForm()◦ Html.Hidden()◦ Html.ListBox()◦ Html.Password()◦ Html.RadioButton()◦ Html.TextBox()
