  2. Business Model: Work with Data Model and save data in database.
  3. View Model: Pass information from controller to view.

Many improvements were seen in this .NET Framework by Microsoft through its main purpose of designing, testing, maintainability, clean structure, etc.

• Model is representing the application part and implements the data logic.
• View is representing the User interface part and display data on browser using Controller part.
• Controller is classes. In this part collect user Request.

Easy to manage and test because every functionality is a separated part of Model, View and Controller.

Some important features added in this framework:

• ASP.NET Web API.
• Default HTML5 templates for Visual Studio and Mobile Application.
• Automatic selection of rendered views means application auto set in Desktop/Mobile/tablet browser.
• jQuery Mobile.
• Microsoft Windows Azure SDK support for deploying ASP.NET MVC applications to Windows Azure.
• Social site authentication like Facebook.
