There are no good place to keep your models in. You can keep them in separate assembly if the project is big and there are a lot of ViewModels (Data Transfer Objects). Also you can keep them in separate folder of the site project. For example, in Oxite they are placed in Oxite project which contains a lot of various classes too. Controllers in Oxite are moved to separate project and views are in separate project too. In CodeCampServer ViewModels are named *Form and they are placed in UI project in Models folder. In MvcPress project they are placed in Data project, which also contains all code to work with database and a bit more (but I didn't recommend this approach, it's just for a sample) So you can see there are many point of view. I usually keep my ViewModels (DTO objects) in the site project. But when I have more than 10 models I prefer to move them to separate assembly. Usually in this case I'm moving controllers to separate assembly too. Another question is how to easily map all data from model to your ViewModel. I suggest to have a look at AutoMapper library. I like it very much, it does all dirty work for me. And I also I suggest to look at SharpArchitecture project. It provides very good architecture for projects and it contains a lot of cool frameworks and guidances and great community.

在我们的例子中，我们将模型和控制器放在一个独立于视图的项目中。

根据经验，我们已经尝试移动和避免大多数ViewData[”…]的东西，因此我们避免了类型转换和魔术字符串，这是一件好事。

ViewModel还包含一些常见的属性，如列表的分页信息或用于绘制面包屑和标题的页眉信息。在我看来，此时基类包含了太多的信息，我们可以将其分为三部分，基本视图模型中99%的页面的最基本和必要的信息，然后是列表模型和表单模型，其中包含了该场景的特定数据并继承自基类。

最后，我们为每个实体实现一个视图模型来处理特定的信息。

我将我的应用程序类保存在一个名为“Core”的子文件夹中(或一个单独的类库)，并使用与KIGG示例应用程序相同的方法，但做了一些轻微的更改，以使我的应用程序更加DRY。

我在/Core/ViewData/中创建了一个BaseViewData类，其中存储了常见的站点属性。

在此之后，我还在同一个文件夹中创建了所有的视图ViewData类，然后从BaseViewData派生并具有视图特定的属性。

然后我创建一个ApplicationController，我所有的控制器都是从它派生出来的。ApplicationController有一个通用的GetViewData方法，如下:

protected T GetViewData<T>() where T : BaseViewData, new()
    {
        var viewData = new T
        {
           Property1 = "value1",
           Property2 = this.Method() // in the ApplicationController
        };
        return viewData;
    }

最后，在我的控制器动作中，我做以下工作来构建我的ViewData模型

public ActionResult Index(int? id)
    {
        var viewData = this.GetViewData<PageViewData>();
        viewData.Page = this.DataContext.getPage(id); // ApplicationController
        ViewData.Model = viewData;
        return View();
    }

我认为这工作得很好，它保持你的视图整洁，你的控制器瘦。

下面是我的最佳实践代码片段:

    public class UserController : Controller
    {
        private readonly IUserService userService;
        private readonly IBuilder<User, UserCreateInput> createBuilder;
        private readonly IBuilder<User, UserEditInput> editBuilder;

        public UserController(IUserService userService, IBuilder<User, UserCreateInput> createBuilder, IBuilder<User, UserEditInput> editBuilder)
        {
            this.userService = userService;
            this.editBuilder = editBuilder;
            this.createBuilder = createBuilder;
        }

        public ActionResult Index(int? page)
        {
            return View(userService.GetPage(page ?? 1, 5));
        }

        public ActionResult Create()
        {
            return View(createBuilder.BuildInput(new User()));
        }

        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Create(UserCreateInput input)
        {
            if (input.Roles == null) ModelState.AddModelError("roles", "selectati macar un rol");

            if (!ModelState.IsValid)
                return View(createBuilder.RebuildInput(input));

            userService.Create(createBuilder.BuilEntity(input));
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }

        public ActionResult Edit(long id)
        {
            return View(editBuilder.BuildInput(userService.GetFull(id)));
        }

        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Edit(UserEditInput input)
        {           
            if (!ModelState.IsValid)
                return View(editBuilder.RebuildInput(input));

            userService.Save(editBuilder.BuilEntity(input));
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }
}

按类别划分类(控制器、视图模型、过滤器等)是毫无意义的。

如果你想为你的网站(/)的Home部分写代码，然后创建一个名为Home的文件夹，并在那里放置HomeController, IndexViewModel, AboutViewModel等，以及Home操作使用的所有相关类。

如果你有共享类，比如ApplicationController，你可以把它放在项目的根目录。

为什么要分离相关的东西(HomeController, IndexViewModel)，而把完全没有关系的东西放在一起(HomeController, AccountController) ?

我就这个话题写了一篇博客。

就我个人而言，我建议如果ViewModel不是微不足道的，那么使用一个单独的类。

如果你有多个视图模型，那么我建议至少在一个目录中划分它。如果稍后共享视图模型，则目录中隐含的名称空间可以更容易地移动到新的程序集。
