Developing an ASP.NET MVC 3 web application using Windows Communication Foundation

The main focus of this thesis is the documentation regarding the building of a pilot web application using the ASP.NET MVC 3 framework that consumes services from a Windows Communication Foundation(WCF) host. The objective of this thesis was to produce guidelines for developers to familiarize themselves with the ASP.NET MVC 3 framework and WCF. The thesis explored different aspects of developing a web application including a concise explanation of requirements analysis and high-level architecture. In addition to clarifying technologies like Mercurial, Ninject and IIS, a prototype was implemented using ASP.NET MVC 3 and WCF to guide developers through the basics of the above mentioned technologies. Images for different steps and code blocks were included wherever needed to make the descriptions clearer. The thesis resulted in guidelines for developers. By following them, it is possible for developers to create a web application using the ASP.NET MVC 3 framework and WCF. The guidelines can also be used to learn the basics or implement features to a web application with the tools and technologies being used
