Lecture #6 - Asp.Net Core

Web Resources

Asp.Net Core

Definition

Asp.Net is a platform for delivering web content. Asp.Net applications respond to requests by dynamically assembling web pages from control models and data, often from a database. Asp.Net was originally a Windows only platform. Asp.Net Core extends that to Linux and Mac platforms as well.

---

The Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture has three major part types:

Views display information to the user and transmit user actions back to a controller. Controller instances are created for each request. They coordinate responses to the request by collecting data from the model and assembling it into a view for the response. Models manage data and often provide application logic to simplify controller operations.

Content

1. Syllabus describes topics to be covered, reading material for you to digest before coming to class, and due dates for the assigned projects.
2. Projects:

   Final Project #1, Final Project #2, Final Project #3
   You will do one of these - the choice of which is yours to make - and present on the last day of classes.

   Additional Requirements

   You are expressly requested to refrain from using site editors like Wix, web.com, or other web designers. You may use any of the facilities of Visual Studio or any other text editor of your choice. This same rule applies to your lab submissions as well. For your Final Project demos you will be required to use only page links for navigation. You may host and demonstrate your labs in the built-in Visual Studio web server.

   All projects must use:

   • Asp.net core MVC - main site
   • Asp.net Web API - web service
   • Web API Client
   • SQL db storage
   • At least one static page that uses new features of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript6.

4. Interactive Demo - Asp.Net Core Build an empty project and populate it's pieces interactively. Web - nearly empty web application Pipeline - simple demo of how pipeline works Configure the basic Web application Message Service added to Web - uses Dependency Injection Service for static pages added to Web Mvc Web Application
   Build Process for Visual Studio

   File > New > Project
   Visual C# > Web > Asp.Net Core Web Application
   Provide name, Browser for Folder
   Left dropdown = Net Core, Right dropdown = Asp.Net 2.x
   Select Empty
   Build and Run to see "Hello World" From here we will add code to: - return web pages
   - add MVC structure
   Dissect project's parts

   • CreateWebHostBuilder
   • Startup
   • ConfigurationBuilder
   • ConfigureServices
   • AddSingleton<IMessageService, ConfigureMessageService>()
   • AddSingleton(provider => Configuration)
   • AddMvc()
   • Configure
   • app.UseFileServer
   • app.UseStaticFiles
   • app.UseDefaultFiles
   • app.UseMvcWidthDefalutRout()
   • app.Run(async (context) => { await context.Response.WriteAsync(msg.GetMessage()) }
