Abstract
Before the introduction of MVC, ASP.NET assumed that there was a direct relationship between requested URLs and the files on the server hard disk. The job of the server was to receive the request from the browser and deliver the output from the corresponding file, as follows:
Request URL | Corresponding File |
|---|---|
http://mysite.com/default.aspx | e:\webroot\default.aspx |
http://mysite.com/admin/login.aspx | e:\webroot\admin\login.aspx |
http://mysite.com/articles/AnnualReview | File not found!Send error 404. |
