Mobile Web App for Auction
Model
Model can generally be called as a logic layer cum data access layer that can contain the business
logic or data access logic. It encapsulates the logic for the application domain.
View
Views can be called as Presentation layer that displays the application data in the browser.
Controller
Controllers are the place where the user interactions are handled. Controller is responsible to receive the request, process the response by sending to the Model and give the response to the View again. So in MVC, the View is only responsible to display the information. Controller is responsible for receiving request, processing it using Model and sending it back to View and Model is responsible to apply logic, connect to the database and retrieve data.

Why We used ASP.NET MVC?
The benefit of ASP.MVC is that it helps to isolate the application to achieve maintainability, testability and cleaner separation of concerns.
Benefits
All layers are loosely coupled.
UI belongs to the View
Input logic belongs to the Controller and
Business logic and data manipulations belong to the Model
The separation of layers helps in parallel development as a developer can focus on only one part of the application at a time. For example, a member of team can entirely work on a single model without worrying about its View; another team member can focus on just the Controller part and so on.
The separation of layers helps in easily managing the complexity of the application as all layers are decoupled; apart from this it also helps to test the individual component separately so suitable for Test Driver Development.
It doesn’t use View state and server based forms so no view state!
Suitable for large team size as team members can work independently.
We used the ASP.NET SignalR
ASP.NET SignalR is a new library for ASP.NET developers to add real-time web functionality to their applications. Real-time web functionality is the ability to have server-side code push content to the connected clients. It is basically used for notification for each user.
