Where are the graphical page components for an ASP.NET MVC application?

It sounds very silly, but I was told that you can drag visual components (including JavaScript or AJAX components?) Onto a web page view in ASP.NET MVC, and then "customize" the components by editing the code behind them when they were on location. Either I misunderstood what I was told, or I am blind and cannot see how to do it, but the ability to do it will help a lot, especially since I cannot really create things to save my life.

EDIT 1: To clarify: As I was told, it seemed like you could go to the panel, drag the button to the viewport, and then HTML / CSS to put the button there. Then you can open the code editor and customize everything as you want.

Drag and drop is more suitable for standard ASP.NET Web Forms rather than MVC. I think you can still do this in MVC, but only if the controls don't rely on the viewstate (which MVC doesn't support).

Even with Webforms, view in design is pretty useless. It is nowhere near the wysiwyg editor you are planning for even a relatively simple website design. While you can technically drag and drop components onto the page, they usually have no resemblance to the rendered html.



If you want to create a website using any ASP.Net framework, you will need to write the markup more conveniently. The upside is that the MVC framework simplifies the markup side a lot.
