| Oct 24, 2016 at 21:43 | comment | added | Peter | Thinking about it, MVC is not a endgoal in itself something out of 2005, MS never intended to end up with it, now they rather see ASP as a modular framework, and in compliance with that, they evolved further their new kid in town is Kortana apps, apps that are no longer bound to IIS, but can run on linux servers as well, even android. I think its time to move on, and if possible skip older technology. From how i see kortana its less jinglebells more close to raw goal as ASP used to be. | |

Can you explain please? | |

I'm seeing rumblings that System.Web is too difficult to maintain and that feature releases for WebForms will be slower than they were in the past. Microsoft is pretty consistently stating that WebForms support isn't ending any time soon, but don't expect WebForms to offer the latest and greatest features. E.g., Microsoft promotes vNext has having near-realtime code updates, but I don't think you'll get this with WebForms. WebForms won't be dead any time soon...but I'd be hesitant to use it for new projects.

| Apr 1, 2015 at 12:41 | comment | added | mbx-mbx | "When to favor ASP.NET WebForms over MVC" - Never. Anyway, it's all about OWIN, Web API and SPA's these days. | |
| Dec 13, 2014 at 8:23 | comment | added | Alex | @Darknight "The problem is when a pattern is turned into a framework" Why would that be a problem? Or on the flip-side - how could you have any framework without basing it on some core architectural pattern? | |
| Oct 30, 2014 at 3:44 | comment | added | Jerry Liang | In reality, you don't go with something obsolete. If you go and find a job, you will notice less and less webform jobs. This is another reason why that you want to go with MVC. | |
| Oct 8, 2014 at 12:00 | comment | added | Shivprasad Koirala | I will just let go Webforms. MVC is the way to go. The main problem of Webform is Code behind , Code behind and Code behind. Below is a detail article which discusses the evils of code behind. codeproject.com/Articles/821275/… | |
| Sep 19, 2014 at 14:23 | comment | added | John | Lets put it this way, if you are building a house web forms are predefined construction modules and mvc are bricks. If you can make it happen using modules great, but usually you have to use bricks at some point. I would suggest go with MVC, always. Learning curve is actually not that bad. | |

| Nov 19, 2013 at 15:35 | comment | added | Darknight | The problem is when a pattern is turned into a framework, that's my problem with asp.net MVC. You can use the same pattern and approach in web forms without the MVC framework. Since I originally commented (man this thread is old!) I've moved away from both frameworks. Its now mostly light services with pure ajax front end think SOA that I like :) | |
| Nov 18, 2013 at 21:24 | comment | added | Anthony | @Darknight you know this is an ASP.NET MVC site? The MVC pattern is one of the best things to happen to web development in a longtime Ruby On Rails (Twitter) (Base Camp) Java's Spring framework, to many PHP examples to even count. | |

I'm not one to speak so this is just my opinion. After reading most of the answers I came to conclusion that the answer is just never. MVC is just awesome and the only drawback I found is that I keep seeing ; at my webpage (If you're just beginning with Razor you'll get the joke).

| Nov 29, 2011 at 18:44 | comment | added | Robotsushi | @Darknight You obviously have a poor understanding of MVC if this is your opinion... There are some huge sites built with mvc... do some research sir. | |
| Nov 24, 2011 at 16:20 | comment | added | Darknight | @Raynos, I use both, but I also know both has its strengths and weakness.. | |
| Nov 21, 2011 at 13:22 | comment | added | Raynos | @Darknight whatever makes you happy -> if you like WebForms go crazy with it ;) | |
| Nov 21, 2011 at 13:16 | comment | added | Darknight | @Raynos ok, whatever makes you happy -> if you like MVC go crazy with it ;) | |

| Nov 13, 2011 at 12:29 | comment | added | Raynos | @Darknight :\ that's highly biased and simply wrong. MVC is not for simple CRUD apps. I'd argue WebForms is for generic CRUD apps (i.e. database -> some shiny grid control). | |
