Hi I am a long time LLBLGen Pro user in windows form environment and now my company has decided to use ASP.NET MVC 4 (web & mobile application) to replace current desktop application. I am fairly new to web, especially ASP.NET MVC. I am trying to learn about all what it takes to completely get this project moving. I love LLBLGen Pro and I am very comfortable using it, I am little confused about how it gets used in MVC application especially with Linq to sql and Entity Framework. Do I even need to use it (Linq to sql and Entity Framework) for my web project? I have done quite a bit of research on how to setup this project architecture, but haven’t found the best answer yet.
1. How do I use LLBLGen Pro projects in my solution? 2. How are people using model? Isn’t your LLBLGen pro project a model? 3. Do I even need to use Linq to sql or entity framework? Pro, cons? 4. Is my controller a business logic layer, or would you recommend a different project? 5. Is there LLBLGen pro sample application for asp.net MVC 4. I would appreciate if someone can recommend some best practice for starting a new ASP.NET MVC 4 application that will use LLBLGen pro. How many project would you recommend and what goes in each project, what would you recommend using controller and models for? Some recommendation on technology like ASP.NET Web API, EF, upshot, knockoutjs Does LLBL or anyone have a sample application that we all can learn from with things I mentioned above? I apologize if this is too basic question, but this could really help me get going. Thanks Buz

First question: you should decide which framework are you going to use for the DAL. LLBLGen Pro Framework, EntityFramework, NHibernate... etc?

Hint: LLBLGen Pro Designer can generate code for all these platforms.

If you search the forum for MVC, you will find many threads about it. e.g. http://www.llblgen.com/tinyforum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=21573
