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.

Working with Roslyn


We often think about a compiler as a black box which produces an output from an input. Compilers were generally written in C++ because of speed, custom memory, file, and thread management needs. For example, the C# compiler takes .cs files in input and generates .dll files in output.

Now the new Microsoft compiler written in C# and VB, Roslyn, is not just a compiler; it's a .NET compiler platform that we can extend.

Getting ready

Learning to use all Roslyn APIs could be the subject of an entire book. In this recipe, we will just manipulate one of these APIs: the Syntax Trees API. We will create a Syntax Tree and we will analyze it.

How to do it...

  1. Let's download the SDK and extend the compiler, installing the VS extension, .NET Compiler Platform SDK, by going through the Tools | Extensions and Updates menu, searching for Roslyn SDK:
  1. We can now download the .NET Compiler Platform SDK templates as a .vsix file, which gives us all the available project templates to create an analyzer...
