MonoRail
MVC web framework for .NET from the Castle Project, now in a deprecated repository.
www.castleproject.org/projects/monorail/repositorydocs
MonoRail is a model-view-controller web framework for .NET from the Castle Project, which its documentation describes as inspired by ActionPack. The MR2 documentation covers running it under IIS, where a handler mapped to a URL extension in web.config routes requests to MonoRail, and its views use the NVelocity template engine.
Worth knowing
The Castle Project’s organization describes these repositories as archived and generally unsupported, and the repository description calls MonoRail 3 a prototype. The Castle Project’s own site links the MR2 documentation as the reference for MonoRail 2.
