Nothing wrong with VFP; it is the damn MS fault <g>. BTW, the guy who was creating this project for me is a young fellow (about your age) without VFP baggage. So somehow he didn't like Razor.

>>I will. The project I was looking at was recently created by a consultant - for me - but then abandoned. He said that he preferred the view done in "older" way instead of Razor. Since I don't know any better, I said, of course <g>.

>>>>>>I hope you don't mind if I ask you another question (collective you). I am looking at an existing MVC project. The View has files of type .ASCX (with a bunch of % signs). The question is, if I wanted to see the view page, just how it would render in a browser, can I do it? When I right-mouse click I see no option to see it in the browser (as you would have in a Web Forms project). And therefore, do I understand that in order to see how the view page will be rendered, you must have the Model object, right?

>>>>>>>>Thank you. I did look at the Music Store tutorial but didn't get it (I am sure it is me). I am going to look at the other link you provided and see where it leads me. But as I said, I just need to take the time to create a simple 1-page MVC app to get a feel for it. The tutorial by Scott Allen is very good though in understanding the concept behind MVC.
