  Oh, sure.

  
  

  As I said briefly it was a missing handler in the IIS HTTP Handler configuration. To give a quick summary on how I converted an existing ASP.NET Application into an MVC Application, these steps were done:

  
  

  1. Add the following references to the project: System.Web.Mvc, System.Web.Routing, System.Web.Abstractions. If the IIS7 does not have these DLL files in the GAC, you'll need to copy them.

  2. Create the required folder structure in the solution for the MVC Framework: Controllers & Views folders

  3. Add the required files to the project, such as the default HomeController and related views.

  4. Update the web.config file of the application to make sure the following entries are present (I've marked the additions in bold. Don't use this config file, but use your own !!!!)

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <configuration>

      </handlers>
  </configuration>

  5. Add the required routes to the global.asax file:

  - ignore all resources ending in .aspx

  6. Add the httphandler to IIS to catch MVC requests:

  - Name : MVC Handler
  - Path: *
  - Type: System.Web.Mvc.MvcHttpHandler
  - mapping : unvink the request to file/folder
  - verbs : all
  - access : read
  - order:  right above any other wildcard or static handler.
