1. Install MVC(System.Web.Mvc.dll)(http://www.asp.net/mvc/)

MVC depend on System.Web.Abstraction.dll; System.Web.Mvc.dll; System.Web.Routing.dll. while System.Web.Abstraction and System.Web.Routing.dll are already installed with .Net Framework 3.5.we can find these 2 assemblies in GAC.

2. Create a classic Web Form project - Add some folders,add references to 3 dlls

Controllders and Views folders are needed in a Mvc project.

3. Alter <system.web> of  Web.config

   <system.web>
      <compilation debug="false">
         <assemblies>
            <add assembly="System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0,

4. To run MVC web site in IIS7

    set "runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests=ture" see the bold part
   <system.webServer>
      <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
      <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
        <remove name="ScriptModule" />
        <add name="ScriptModule" preCondition="managedHandler"
             type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions,

                   PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
        <!--for mvc-->
      </handlers>
    </system.webServer>

5. Add Global.asax file

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.SessionState;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Routing;
   
namespace WebFormWithMVC {
    public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication {
   
        protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        }
        //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
        // the following is customized methods for mvc
        //
        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.aspx/{*pathInfo}");
            routes.MapRoute("Default", "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                             new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" });
        }
    }
}

6. Create a Controller

   Under the Controller folder, create a HomeController.cs file:
 
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace WebFormWithMVC.Controllers {
    public class HomeController : Controller {
        public ActionResult Index() {
            ViewData["Message"] = "This is ASP.NET MVC!";
            return View();
        }
    }
}

7. Create a View Page - Index.aspx

Under folder : Views/Home
<%@ Page Language="C#"  Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %>
<html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
        <%=ViewData["Message"]%>
    <body>
</html>

8.Deploy web project to IIS7 and test it

http://localhost/MVCWith3Dlls/Home/Index
