I’m new to ASP.NET MVC, and plan on using it for an upcoming project. I have some questions:

  1. I don’t know what type of database the project is using. It might be SQL Server or a mySQL database. If I use LINQ to SQL, can I switch databases on demand?

  2. Do people still use LINQ to SQL?

  3. I need a membership provider. In ASP.NET Microsoft provided a tool for create the membership tables and data. Is it still the same for MVC? (We also might use Live ID, or OpenID, or Facebook Connect, is it possible to integrate in the future?)

  4. What is ASP.NET MVC 2?

  5. Whats the best way to get started on ASP.NET MVC 2? I have Visual Studio 2010.

  6. Is there a relationship between WPF and ASP.NET MVC 2?

    Unnumbered Question) Use MVC 2, it is newer, so more features.

    1) No – Linq To Sql only supports Sql Server.

    2) Yes. I use it a lot, mostly for all of my small projects I want to get up and running quickly.

    3) MVC uses the same Membership as Asp.Net (since MVC is built on Asp.Net)

    4) What’s new in MVC2

    5) Check out this question I asked.

    6) There is no relationship.

    EDIT: Entity Framework and MySQL – Entity Framework and Oracle
