Overview of this book

The ASP.NET Core 2.0 Framework has been designed to meet all the needs of today’s web developers. It provides better control, support for test-driven development, and cleaner code. Moreover, it’s lightweight and allows you to run apps on Windows, OSX and Linux, making it the most popular web framework with modern day developers. This book takes a unique approach to web development, using real-world examples to guide you through problems with ASP.NET Core 2.0 web applications. It covers Visual Studio 2017- and ASP.NET Core 2.0-specifc changes and provides general MVC development recipes. It explores setting up .NET Core, Visual Studio 2017, Node.js modules, and NuGet. Next, it shows you how to work with Inversion of Control data pattern and caching. We explore everyday ASP.NET Core MVC 2.0 patterns and go beyond it into troubleshooting. Finally, we lead you through migrating, hosting, and deploying your code. By the end of the book, you’ll not only have explored every aspect of ASP.NET Core MVC 2.0, you’ll also have a reference you can keep coming back to whenever you need to get the job done.

Using Redis as a cache on Azure


In this recipe, we will learn how to use Redis on Azure as a cache in-memory system with ASP.NET Core MVC applications.

Getting ready

First, we will connect to our Azure subscription, create a Redis cache provider, launch VS 2017, and create an empty web application.

How to do it...

  1. First, let's launch http://portal.azure.com, connect with our subscription, and select Redis Caches:
  1. Then we will create a Redis cache. To do that, we configure it, adding a DNS name, a Subscription, a Resource group, a Location, and a Pricing tier:
  1. Refreshing the Redis Caches section, we can see the new Redis cache just created:
  1. Now Redis is created on Azure, we launch VS 2017 and create an empty web application.
  2. First, we have to import the StackExchange.Redis dependency in the project to manipulate the Redis API:
    "StackExchange.Redis": "1.2.6" 
  1. Next, we create some extension methods to use Redis more efficiently, because we have to serialize and deserialize the clr object to store...
