I'm slightly confused... this post doesn't look like it's about MVC -- is it trying to bring MVC practices to ASP.NET WebForms? If so, that's cool.

Yes, Model binding is now part of WebForms. This post actually describes how models are bound to controls.

There are some more examples, which explains how to create Models out of Querystring and Postbackdata.

Ah, interesting. Not that I'm a big fan of WebForms in general, but I suppose it makes WebForms more usable. :-)

Certainly so, this could breathe life into production applications using WebForms that aren't ready to be upgraded to MVC.

This could definitely make WebForms a little less painful.
