An open source project has begun on CodePlex to contribute to the MVC Framwork. The project is titled <a href="http://www.codeplex.com/MVCContrib/">MVC Contrib</a>, and it is a collection of assemblies for the MVC Framework. The project is currently in beta, and has a couple of  unstable releases for those of you feeling somewhat adventurous.</p> <p>If you are interested in helping with the MVC Contrib project, it is recommended that you do so by <a href="http://www.codeplex.com/MVCContrib/SourceControl/PatchList.aspx">submitting a patch</a>. Because of limitations in the versioning system on CodePlex, the source is being alternatively stored on Google Code, and CodePlex is being used for the releases, issues, and discussions of the project. Go to the Google Code page to get the <a href="http://mvccontrib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk">MVC Contrib Source Code</a>.</p> <p>We at ASPAlliance hope that you have a great holiday season filled with friends and family. During the holidays the ASP Alliance Times will be taking a two week break. We will see you next year with more updates of what is happening on ASPAlliance and in the technical world.</p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right" style="background-color: #FFFFFF"> <div style="color: black; font-size: 0.7em; font-family: Arial"> <a href="http://aspadvice.com/blogs/ssmith/" style="color: #CC0000; text-decoration: none;"> Steve's Blog </a> </div> </td> </tr> <!-- End Editor's Comments --> <!-- Begin New Articles Section --> <tr> <td align="left"> <div style="font-size: 1em; color: White; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold; padding-top: 10px;"> New Articles on ASPAlliance.com</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right" style="background-color: #FFFFFF"> <div style="color: black; font-size: 0.7em; font-family: Arial"> <a href="http://aspalliance.com/recentarticles.aspx" style="color:#CC0000; text-decoration: none; font-size: 0.7.em; font-family: Arial"> View All Recent Articles »</a></div> </td> </tr> <!-- Repeat for each article --> <tr> <td align="left" style="background-color: #EEEEEE"> <a href="http://aspalliance.com/1511" class="headingLink"> Basics of Serialization in .NET Framework 3.0 </a> <br /> <span style="font-size: 0.7em; color: black; font-family:Tahoma; font-weight: bold">By Uday Denduluri , 13th December 2007 </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" style="background-color: #EEEEEE; padding-left: 25px;"> <div style="color: black; font-size: 0.8em; font-family: Arial"> In this article Uday examines the different types of serializations possible with .NET Framework 3.0 including a comparison between basic serialization and custom serialization. </div> </td> </tr> <!-- End Repeat for each article --> <!-- Repeat for each article --> <tr> <td align="left" style="background-color: #EEEEEE"> <a href="http://aspalliance.com/1528" class="headingLink"> SQL Server 2005 Data Modeling - Part 1 </a> <br /> <span style="font-size: 0.7em; color: black; font-family:Tahoma; font-weight: bold">By Manjusree Akkineni , 18th December 2007 </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" style="background-color: #EEEEEE; padding-left: 25px;"> <div style="color: black; font-size: 0.8em; font-family: Arial"> SQL Server 2005 in addition to its traditional relational database features, also offers extensive data modeling features in a completely different perspective.
