ASP.NET MVC - Contained User Controls

Question

I want to be able to create ViewUserControls with their own controllers so all the logic is contained completely. Right now, I have to wire up the ViewUserControls with the main controller and if I wanted to use these viewUserControls elsewhere, I would have to wire them up again. Is it possible to do what I'm hoping for?

Answer 1

What you are looking for are subcontrollers. There's been talk they will come in ASP.NET MVC 2 but there is no more news on that yet.

Right now you could check out MVC Contrib project. It has support for subcontrollers.

MvcContrib - now with SubController support for ASP.NET MVC
