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.

Before ASP.NET Core


Before MVC, a URL represented a physical .ASPX file, but MVC added an abstraction layer to map URLs with controllers and actions. The goal was to call methods calling resources in a REST way, rather than calling pages.

In an MVC framework, regardless of the technology used, a routing system maps an incoming URL with a URL route pattern corresponding to an action's controller. A routing system doesn't work with physical files.

All the URL patterns are stored in an object called routecollection.

If there's no match, a HTTP 404 error is returned.

The routing system was linked with IIS.

HTTP.sys, the listener process in IIS, redirects to the UrlRouting module, which redirects to the ASP.NET and the ASP.NET MVC pipeline.
