Instead of writing my ASP.NET C# applications in Visual Studio, I used my favorite text editor UltraEdit32.
Is there any way I can implement MVC without the use of VS?
Conclusion: unless you are suffering from some severe brain damage you will never do this and simply download Visual Studio 2010 Express and start developping ASP.NET MVC 3 applications by following the tutorials on the ASP.NET MVC web site.
Yes we can create an solution without Visual studio.
To run the application without opening Visual Studio, You need to install IIS (as rtpHarry has suggested). Then You need to have your application in a virtual directory. To create virtual directory perform following steps: Type inetmgr at command prompt -> Click OK.
It's really difficult to try and learn an entirely new language/framework under pressure. If you're required to deliver working software for your day job, trying to learn ASP.NET Core at the same time might be heaping too much pressure on yourself.
There is nothing VS specific with the MVC framework - it is just a bunch of DLLs that you can use. The wizards in VS just build you a quick-start framework.
ASP.NET MVC is "bin-deployable" - there is nothing too clever to set up on the server either - just point the wildcard ISAPI filter to ASP.NET
Assuming you have the correct assemblies and a C# compiler you in theory can use whatever you want to edit the code and then just run the compiler by hand or using a build script. That being said it is a real pain doing .NET development without Visual Studio/SharpEdit/Monodevelop in my opinion.
