ASP.Net MVC Design Templates are Free for usage and are registered under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license.


ASP.NET MVC enables you to build Model View Controller (MVC) applications by using the ASP.NET framework. ASP.NET MVC is an alternative, not a replacement, for ASP.NET Web Forms that offers the following benefits:

• Clear separation of concerns

How Can I Use ASP.Net MVC Design Gallery?

After downloading and decompressing a Design Template from the ASP.NET Design Gallery, you’ll see a folder named DesignTemplate. To use the template with an ASP.NET MVC project, you need to copy all files from the DesignTemplate folder to your project. For example, if the DesignTemplate folder contains a file with the path DesignTemplate\Content\Site.css then you need to copy this file to the exact same location in your ASP.NET MVC application. A Design Template can include Cascading Style Sheets, View Master Pages, View User Controls, JavaScript, custom HTML Helpers, and other types of files.
If a Design template contains programming language specific files (C# or Visual Basic .NET) then the template will contain a folder named DesignTemplateCS that contains C# files and/or a folder named DesignTemplateVB that contains Visual Basic .NET files. Copy the files from the folder that corresponds to the programming language used in your ASP.NET MVC project.
Any special instructions associated with a design will be placed in a file named ReadMe.txt.
