What’s left to do for me is provide a sample site that shows usage of the view engine.  This has been a very rewarding experience so far :) . I found out about IViewSourceLoader to get the path to the current view file for example.

I also learnt a new trick to increase my test coverage and be able to test the content of the rendered view.

To get the mvc contrib project you can either download it from the releases section on the codeplex site.

Or you can check out the source code and build it yourself from the subversion repository

I am very pleasantly surprised by that news, and this is the change of direction so many people have been waiting for I think.

I for one like this whole new direction of embracing open source. It seems like lately the party can’t stop, they also hired: Scott Hanselman, Phil Haack and Alex James. I should maybe start thinking about getting one aggregated feed from msdn :)

It’s good to see that open source projects are now being endorsed. I can’t wait to see what’s next.
