URLRoute request
ViewBusiness logic
Model + TemplateData + HTML
Simple meaning
Required for file uploads.
WHY — Forms instead of guessing?
Why interviewers care about Forms:
Forms questions separate people
who only read docs from people who shipped.
Keep it short, concrete,
and tied to .NET MVC work.
Stay structured
Name the idea, why it exists, then one short example.
Close cleanly
End with when you use it and one common pitfall.

- 5Common mistake
What juniors usually get wrong.
- 6Close
When you pick this over the alternative.
