Are there alternatives to ASP.NET for C# web development?

c# asp.net web-frameworks

Lately, I've been thinking that I'd like to try some new ideas and a new approach to web application design. I'm mostly used to using ASP.NET (.NET 2.0) but I've toyed with the ASP.NET MVC library a little bit as well. While both are powerful and interesting, I'd really like something more... basic.

Is there anything like that out there? I'd like a framework that's more transparent really: I want to be able to see the request, pass it where I want, render HTML the way I want, and post requests how I want. I can get all that in ASP.NET, but I have to dig pretty hard to get at all of it. I'd like something simpler to use as the basis for some new framework ideas.

So is there something like that out there? Or would I pretty much have to completely reinvent all the basic routing, request, and response code as well to get a platform to build up from?
