Hi ahtesham,

1) You must realize that this is only preview technology: it isn’t even in official Beta status yet. And preview 3 was only released a short while ago: I’m sure once the technology is live that the documentation will be up to date. And there are some videos already available for Preview 3 on the http://www.asp.net/mvc/ web site, which I think is remarkable considering how recent it is and how quickly it is changing. Also, visiting the MVC forums at http://forums.asp.net/1146.aspx would probably help you a lot.

2) You also must understand that this in not a replacement for Web Forms, so you won’t be able to simply drag and drop replacement controls. Instead, if you want to replace ASP.NET controls and functionality, you are going to have to hand code these components using traditional HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Being able to use these core technologies is one of the most attractive features of MVC, but it is not for everyone.

3) Redirect accepts a URL string and will redirect your requests traffic to the specified URL. RedirectToAction is used in to redirect the current request to another method (Action) within the current Controller or another Controller within the same Project.

As for the rest, I think you need to spend some time at the website, forums, and on Google. There are plenty of samples and articles already available. Once the technology solidifies more, I will post some how-to articles. Until then, welcome to the bleeding edge!

If you are using MvcContrib, there are also a couple of breaking changes from the version that worked with Preview 2, including: - WindsorControllerFactory requires an instance of IWindsorContainer to be passed to its constructor so that it can be accessed from DisposeController.
