ASP.NET Convention Based Naming

Could someone ex开发者_开发问答plain ASP.NET Convention Based Naming and provide some examples if possible please

Convention-based naming is essentially a way to reduce the amount of explicit code you have to write by defining a set of convention mappings so that, for example, pages whose names match a certain format will be automatically looked for within a certain directory.

There's an article here which has some examples (have a search for 'Convention-based naming and the \Views directory structure') and another from the same series here.

There's another, more concise example here: ASP.NET MVC: When convention really matters.

In that example, calling return View("NotFound"); from the DinnersController class will automatically look for a View called NotFound in the \Views\Dinners\ directory, without you needing to explicitly define that directory structure when you call View().

The convention in this instance determines the location of the View based on the name of the Controller.

I can't think of any ASP.NET examples, but ASP.NET MVC certainly uses conventions. One example, is that a request to \Report\View is automatically mapped to a controller called ReportController containing a method called View(). There's no need to do any other wiring - just ending your class name with Controller is enough.
