copied!<p>The support of areas in a large application is absolutely vital in my opinion. It seems quite bizarre to me that Microsoft intends on releasing ASP.NET MVC 1.0 without built in support for areas.</p> <p>Fortunately, what the MVC lacks in capability it makes up for in extensibility. For example, in S#arp Architecture, as Asaf briefly mentioned, I took guidance from Phil Haack (<a href="http://haacked.com/archive/2008/11/04/areas-in-aspnetmvc.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://haacked.com/archive/2008/11/04/areas-in-aspnetmvc.aspx</a>) and Steve Sanderson (<a href="http://blog.codeville.net/2008/11/05/app-areas-in-aspnet-mvc-take-2/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://blog.codeville.net/2008/11/05/app-areas-in-aspnet-mvc-take-2/</a>) but modified the merged result to support areas directly under the view folder. (I didn't like that there was a separate "Areas" folder to hold your view areas.) In other words, if you create an "Animals" area with a corresponding controller Animals.AardvarksController, your Views folder would reflect Views/Animals/Aardvarks.</p> <p>If you're not interested in using all of S#arp Architecture, I would encourage you to at least check out how areas were implemented in this framework for use in your own application. The relevant code includes:</p> <ul> <li>The reusable area support classes: <a href="http://sharp-architecture.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/SharpArch/SharpArch.Web/Areas/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://sharp-architecture.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/SharpArch/SharpArch.Web/Areas/</a></li> <li>The replacement of the view engine: <a href="http://sharp-architecture.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/NorthwindSample/app/Northwind.Web/Global.asax.cs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://sharp-architecture.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/NorthwindSample/app/Northwind.Web/Global.asax.cs</a></li> <li>The declaration of the "area" (this example has an namespace/area called "Organization"): <a href="http://sharp-architecture.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/NorthwindSample/app/Northwind.Web.Controllers/RouteRegistrar.cs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://sharp-architecture.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/NorthwindSample/app/Northwind.Web.Controllers/RouteRegistrar.cs</a></li> <li>The views under the area: <a href="http://sharp-architecture.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/NorthwindSample/app/Northwind.Web/Views/Organization/Employees/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://sharp-architecture.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/NorthwindSample/app/Northwind.Web/Views/Organization/Employees/</a></li> </ul> <p>Incidentally, S#arp Architecture includes a CRUD scaffolding generator which takes into account nested namespaces automatically. As Asaf mentioned, you can find out more about it at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/sharp-architecture/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/sharp-architecture/</a></p> <p>Billy McCafferty</p>
