An Unobtrusive IronPython ViewEngine for ASP.NET MVC(www.codevoyeur.com)

submitted by zblock(90) 1 year, 9 months ago

ASP.NET MVC supports a variety of view engines. The default WebForms view engine mixes C# or VB.NET code blocks with standard HTML markup.

ASP.NET MVC HtmlHelper Extensions for jQuery AutoComplete(codevoyeur.com)
