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.

Creating a strongly typed Partial view


In this recipe, you will learn what a Partial view is, and how to create a strongly typed one.

Getting ready

We will create an empty web application with ASP.NET Core MVC enabled, adding the MVC dependency into the project:

"Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc": "2.0.0"

How to do it...

We can get the benefits of C# compiler with strongly typed Partial views. C# compiler checks names and types of properties. If it detects misuse (such as wrong property names, and so on), it will throw an exception and won't compile the project:

  1. First, let's create the Dto and ViewModel objects:
public class ProductDto
{
  public int Id { get; set; }
  public string Name { get; set; }
  public decimal Price { get; set; }
}
public class ProductViewModel
{
  public int Id { get; set; }
  [Required]
  [MaxLength(50)]
  public string Name { get; set; }
  [Required]
  [Range(0.01, double.MaxValue,
  ErrorMessage = "Please enter a positive number")]
  public decimal Price { get; set; }
}
