MvcContrib now on GitHub
August 22, 2009 – 21:03
The MvcContrib source code has recently been moved to GitHub and can now be found at http://github.com/mvccontrib/mvccontrib. There’s also a branch that builds against MVC 2 Preview 1 at http://github.com/mvccontrib/mvccontrib/tree/mvc2
I’ve also put together a guide to contributing to MvcContrib using git for those without git experience.

Jeremy,
There seems to be something amiss in the configuration of github with respects to the MVC2 branch. When I go to the url indicated in your post and click the download button, I get a zip file containing the main branch (MCV 1) code. It looks like I am going to have to install a git client in order to be able to pull down the 2.0 branch. Or am I missing something obvious?

Hi Ken,
I’m afraid I can’t reproduce this. If I go to http://github.com/mvccontrib/mvccontrib/tree/mvc2 and click on the Download button I definitely receive a zip file containing the MVC2 build.
If you check the version of System.Web.Mvc.dll that comes in the zip (under bin\AspNetMvc) is it definitely 1.0?

Jeremy,
Well i guess third time is a charm. The first time I pulled it down I had issues because a file was missing from the archive (\src\MVCContrib\UI\InputBuilder\InputSpecification\ViewModelFactory.cs).
I pulled it again and that pull would build at least and things seems okay until I tried to my tests. It took me a while to find the culprit (the wrong System.Web.Mvc.ddl was 1.0.40310.
I just pulled it a third time and now, yes I have the 2.0 version of the mvc dll.
Not sure what happened but I think I am good now. Sorry for the trouble. Thanks for the fast reply.
