MVC is somewhat different to standard ASP.NET. In ASP.NET MVC, controls on your page directly (or indirectly) call actions on your controllers.
In ASP.NET, your controls directly call methods in your codebehind page. The classic example of this would be an ASP.NET Button and its respective btnMyButton.Click method in the codebehind (a simple example of this would be adding a button to a page, double clicking the button and examining the method that is created. If you are totally unfamiliar with .Net, I'd suggest ASP.NET (non-MVC) first; although it promotes a rather cumbersome and broken programming model, it does work and it is easy to grasp. MVC isn't particularly difficult to learn once you've got the basics down.
