DotVVM is an OWIN-based ASP.NET framework that can build line-of-business applications and SPAs without writing tons of Javascript code. You only have to write a viewmodel in C# and a view in HTML and DotVVM will generate the rest for you.

DotVVM is inspired by ASP.NET WebForms, but it is much more modern. It brings full MVVM experience and it uses KnockoutJS on the client side.

1. Install the dotVVM for Visual Studio extension.

2. Read the documentation. Oh yes, we are open source, but we actually have one.

DotHTML markup:

<div class="form-control">
  <dot:TextBox Text="{value: Name}" />
</div>
<div class="form-control">
  <dot:TextBox Text="{value: Email}" />
</div>
<div class="button-bar">
  <dot:Button Text="Submit" Click="{command: Submit()}" />
</div>

ViewModel in C#:

public class ContactFormViewModel
{
  public string Name { get; set; }
  public string Email { get; set; }
  public void Submit()
  {
    ContactService.Submit(Name, Email);
  }
}
