« HTML Forms using VB XML Literals | Main | Should I open source my new CMS? »

Hasic is a kick-ass view engine for ASP.NET MVC, with a completely different approach. It uses VB.NET's XML literals instead of nasty strings like most other view engines.

That's right, VB! If you are already closing your web browser upon reading that then shame on you. I'm not saying your whole app is in VB, just the views.

Using VB means this stuff comes for free:

  • Syntax colouring
  • Full intellisense in Visual Studio
  • Compiled views
  • Extensibility using regular CLR classes, functions etc

I’m looking for feedback. So please try out Hasic and let me know what you think – thanks!
