ASP.NET MVC 3 is web application framework with QWAN by (unexpectedly) Microsoft. But the most disappointing point of ASP.NET MVC 3 is that this uses SQL Server by default. It's only one and at all. So I try to install and create MVC 3 application with another RDB. I choose MariaDB. And I try this by Visual Web Development 2010 Express. Let's show instructions for installation.
Let's check that .NET 4 is in your Windows machine. If not, install .NET 4 .
Download Windows Installer of MariaDB and install.
Download Windows Installer of MySQL Connector/Net and install. But, Visual Web Development 2010 Express is not ready for some IDE features in Windows installer version of MySQL Connector/Net.
launch xunit.installer.exe and install for Visual Web Development 2010 Express. Visual Web Development 2010 Express has no test frameworks and xUnit.net is the only one test framework adaptable with Visual Web Development 2010 Express.
