This ASP.NET Core tutorial will teach you the basics of building an ASP.NET Core MVC web application using Visual Studio 2017. ASP.NET Core is the new web app framework from Microsoft.
Going forward ASP.NET Core is going to replace the Current ASP.NET Framework. This Tutorial has been updated to cover ASP.NET Core 2.0 ASP.NET Core ASP.NET Core is a collection of libraries that form a Framework for building web applications. It is not the upgrade of the current ASP.NET Framework. It is the brand new version written from scratch. It has a number of architectural changes that result in a much cleaner and modular framework. At the end of this ASP.NET Core tutorial, you will learn everything you need to start using ASP.NET Core. We will be starting from the basics by building a simple application and continue from there to the advanced topics Audience This tutorial is designed for software programmers who would like to learn the basics of ASP.NET Core from scratch.
It is a significant redesign of ASP.NET that is built from the ground up to provide an optimized development framework for apps that are either deployed to the cloud or run on-premises.
Asp Net Core Example
Prerequisites A good knowledge of C# programming is must to continue with this ASP.NET Core Tutorial. The knowledge of the earlier version of ASP.NET is helpful, but not necessary. Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and Visual Studio IDE is also required. ASP.NET Core Tutorial Getting Started with ASP.NET Core 1.
This article tutorial gives a brief introduction to ASP.NET Core. The ASP.NET Core is new Framework built with aim of cross-platform portability. It can run on.NET Core or.NET Framework. In this tutorial, let us look at how to set up ASP.NET Core development environment so that you can get ahead with the developing the solutions with ASP.NET Core. We look at how to install or upgrade Visual studio 2017.
Install Latest Dot Net Core SDK etc. The dotnet CLI is a command-line interface (CLI) is a new tool for developing the.NET application. It is a cross-platform tool and can be used in Windows, MAC or Linux.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to use.NET Cli create a simple ASP.NET Core application 4. In this tutorial, we will teach how to build a basic ASP.NET Core web application using Visual Studio 2017. The application will use the default empty template, which displays “Hello World”. ASP.NET Core Fundamentals 1. In this chapter, we will learn how ASP.NET Core solution items are organized in the Visual Studio and on the file system. In this article, we will look at the startup.cs and program.cs in more detail.
The program class creates a web server in its Main method, while the startup class configures services and the application’s request pipeline. In this tutorial, let us look at the Kestrel Web Server for ASP.NET Core. The way we host our application in ASP.NET Core has gone through some drastic change compared to the previous version of ASP.NET. The Kestrel is the new way to Host to ASP.NET Core Application. It runs within the Application process making it completely self-contained. In this, article, we will learn what is Middleware is and how the Request Pipeline works in ASP.NET Core application.
Request PipeLine The Request Pipeline is the mechanism by which requests are processed beginning with a Request and ending with a Response. The pipeline specifies how the application should respond to HTTP request. The Configuration system has gone through a lot of changes in new ASP.NET Core. The older ASP.NET used the Web.config file store configuration information.
The newer configuration system now provides API to load the configuration from various sources like Json, XML, INI, Command line argument, Environment variables etc. In this tutorial, let us see how to store and retrieve the configuration from the appsettings.json file 6. In this article, we will learn how to Serve Static files in ASP.NET Core. The ASP.NET Core has the ability to serve the static files such as HTML, CSS, image, and JavaScript directly to clients, without going through the MVC Middleware.
MVC Design Pattern 1. ASP.NET Core web apps are based on the popular MVC Design pattern.
MVC Pattern stands for Model-View-Controller Pattern. In this Tutorial, we learn what is MVC and in the subsequent tutorial, we will see how to use MVC Design pattern in ASP.NET Core. In this tutorial, let us learn how to build an ASP.NET core MVC app from the scratch using Visual Studio. In the last article, we learnt what is MVC Design Pattern is and how it works in ASP.NET MVC Core applications. We continue to explore the MVC architecture and show you how to add the MVC Middleware to the App. Then we will show you how to add Controller, View and a Model to the ASP.NET MVC Core App.
Controllers 1. In this tutorial. We will introduce to you to the basic concepts of ASP.NET Core controllers. We will look at the controller action method and the return type from the Controller Action i.e Action Results. One of the most important parts of the MVC Architecture is the Routing engine.
It is the Routing engine that decides to invoke controller for a particular request. In this Tutorial, we will look at How the Routing Works in ASP.NET Core app.
In this article, we will look at the Attribute Routing in ASP.NET Core Apps. We learnt the basics of Routing in the last tutorial. Routing is how ASP.NET Core matches an incoming URL to a controller action. The Route Constraints helps us to filter out or restrict the unwanted values from reaching the controller action. It does so by checking the Constraint against the value of the URL Parameter.
For Example, you would want to Route engine to match a particular route only if an integer value is supplied for an URL parameter. In this article, we look at what is Action selector and its role in selecting the controller action methods. In the last few tutorials on Routing in ASP.NET Core, We learnt how routing engine picks up the correct action method to execute when the Request arrives.
The Action selectors i. Action Name, Non-Action and Action Verbs gives us more control in the URL Matching Process. In this tutorial, we will explore how to create a formatted response to Controller Action methods. The ASP.NET Core provides several APIs collectively called as Action Results to generate the correctly formatted response, which can be consumed by the Clients.
Let us explore what is Action Results are and what are the different types of the Action Results that are available to us. The View is the Component of the MVC design pattern (or architecture), which is responsible for presenting the User interface to the User. In this Razor tutorial, we will take a quick tour of the Razor View Engine in ASP.NET Core MVC. The Razor makes it easier to embed the C# code inside the HTML, thus providing the ability to generate the dynamic response. In this tutorial, we will explore the Razor syntax.
In this article, we will look at the Attribute Routing in ASP.NET Core Apps. We learnt the basics of Routing in the last tutorial. Routing is how ASP.NET Core matches an incoming URL to a controller action. The Layouts and sections in ASP.NET MVC core help us to maintain a consistent look across all the pages or views of our application. In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a Layout page, which is shared between the views.
We will use the Renderbody to render the view. We will also see how to define sections and render it using the RenderSection.
Finally, We will take a look at viewstart to define the layout Page 5. In this article, we look at what is Action selector and its role in selecting the controller action methods. In the last few tutorials on Routing in ASP.NET Core, We learnt how routing engine picks up the correct action method to execute when the Request arrives. The Action selectors i. Action Name, Non-Action and Action Verbs gives us more control in the URL Matching Process.
In this article, we will give you a brief introduction to Model in the ASP.NET Core MVC application. The Model could mean many things depending on the what are you trying to do. In the Context of ASP.NET Core MVC Apps, the model could be a Domain model, View Model or an Edit Model. We will learn what they are and how and where to use them 2.
In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to pass data from Controller to View. We should create View Models with all of the needed data and pass it from the controller to the View. The View Models can be passed to the View by creating a dynamic property in ViewBag. It can be passed using the Model Property of the ViewData. The Model property allows us to create the strongly typed Views using the @model directive. We will look at all these in this tutorial. Building Forms 1.
In this tutorial, we will build a very basic data entry form using the ASP.NET Core. A form is an HTML form that lets visitors to enter the information in the web page. We will build a simple form, which will accept the product details. Then we will see how to receive the form data on our server when the user hits the submit button. In the previous tutorial, we saw how to build a simple HTML form. We made use of the ViewModel but did not pass the instance of it to the view. The ViewModel can be passed from the controller to the view either using Viewbag or Viewdata.
The ASP.NET Core provides the ability to pass strongly typed models or objects to a view. This approach helps us with the intellisense and better compile-time checking of our code. The scaffolding mechanism in Visual Studio can be used to create the View. Let us learn all these in the article.
Tag Helpers are new features in ASP.NET Core, which help us add the server side code easily into our HTML markup. In this tutorial, we will make use of them to update the HTML form, which we created in the previous tutorial on strongly typed view. The Input Tag Helper generates the appropriate HTML element for the model property. The model property is bound using the asp-for attribute. The input tag helper generates the appropriate HTML type, name & id attribute based on the Property data type & data annotations applied to the ViewModel. The ViewModel must be strongly typed to the View. It also emits the Validation related attributes, which helps in unobtrusive client-side validation.
The asp-format attributes help in generating the properly formatted input elements. The label Tag Helper generates the appropriate HTML element for the model property of our ViewModel. The model property is bound to the model property using the asp-for attribute. In this tutorial, we will learn how to use Label Tag Helper in detail.
The Form Tag Helper generates the HTML element based on the various attributes like asp-controller, asp-action etc. In this tutorial, We will look at how to use Form Tag Helper in ASP.NET Core forms. The environment tag helper supports rendering different content depending on the asp.net core environment variables set.
In this tutorial, we will look at this Tag Helper in more detail 8. In this Model binding in ASP.NET Core article, we will learn How to pass data from View to Controller. We learn what is Model binding is and how it works. The ASP.NET core allows us to bind data from various binding sources like HTML Forms using FromForm, Route Values using FromRoute, Query string using FromQuery, Request body using FromBody and From Request Header using FromHeader. We will look at all these in this chapter 9. In this tutorial, we look at how ASP.NET core Model Validation works.
Often the data entered by the user is not valid and cannot be saved into the database. The entered data may contain a typo or user may intentionally enter the inappropriate data. Hence, we need to validate the user input before storing it in the database. The ASP.NET Core gives us Model Validator, which uses the validation attributes to validate the model, which makes our task easier. We also take a look at ModelState and how to use it.
Finally, we look at the list of Validation attributes 10. The ASP.NET provides validation related tag helpers which display the validation messages to the user. We learned how server-side model validation works in the previous tutorial. The Model binder binds and validates the data received over the HTTP Request. It then creates the ModelState object, which contains the validation messages generated by the Model Binder. The Validation Tag helpers generate the HTML element to display these messages in the view. In the tutorial, we will learn how to perform client-side validation using Javascript.
We learnt how to perform server-side model validation in the previous tutorial. The Unobtrusive client- side validation in ASP.NET Cores uses the same validation attribution that used by the Model Validator. We will learn all these in this tutorial. Dependency Injection 1. Dependency injection has now become the first class citizen in ASP.NET Core. It helps us to build loosely coupled, easily readable and maintainable code. In this tutorial, we will learn the basics of the dependency injection by building a simple application.
Understanding the lifetime of the services created using the Dependency injection is very essential, before starting to using them. Creating services without understanding the difference between Transient, Singleton & Scoped lifetime can result in application behaving erratically.
When a service requests another service via DI, knowing whether it receives the new instance or an already created instance is very important. Hence correctly specifying the lifetime while registering the service are utmost important.
