.net ActionPack

This is pretty exciting stuff - Rob Conery has released a set of tools that bring Rails functionality to .net. The most interesting, in my opinion, is the port of the ActiveRecord class and the beginnings of Scaffold.

I think it has a while to go yet, and the lack of AJAX support is a bit disappointing, I wonder if perhaps this should be [playful beta name] 0.5 instead of ActionPack 1.0.1?

I suppose the primary reason for doing this would be to allow .net coders to use MVC in their web apps, again, he's not there just yet but I can certainly see it's going in the right direction.

Here's a webcast he made to demo ActionPack

It's a great start and I can see it finding a permanent place in my VS toolbox.
