Real-World Web Development with .NET 10

By: Mark J. Price

Overview of this book

Using .NET for web development is a powerful way to build professional-grade websites and services. But moving from a basic project to a full-scale, production-ready system takes more than just business logic and views—it requires a deep understanding of architecture, maintainability, and scalability. Real-World Web Development with .NET 10 bridges that gap, guiding developers who want to build robust, secure, and maintainable web solutions using battle-tested .NET technologies. You’ll start by designing structured websites using ASP.NET Core MVC, separating concerns, managing dependencies, and writing clean, testable code. From there, you’ll build RESTful services with Web API and use OData for rich, queryable endpoints. The book walks you through testing strategies and containerizing your applications. The final section introduces Umbraco CMS, showing you how to integrate content management into your site so end users can manage content independently. By the end of the book, you'll be ready to build controller-based websites and services that are scalable, secure, and ready for real-world use while mastering Umbraco’s flexible, content-driven solutions—skills that are increasingly in demand across organizations and industries. *Email sign-up and proof of purchase required

Now that we have built and tried calling our Northwind service using tools, we will learn how to call it from any .NET app using the HttpClient class and its factory.

Understanding HttpClient

The official way to consume a web service is to use the HttpClient class. However, many people use it incorrectly because it implements IDisposable, and Microsoft’s own documentation shows poor usage of it. See the book links in the GitHub repository for articles with more discussion of this, found at the following link: https://github.com/markjprice/web-dev-net10/blob/main/docs/book-links.md.

Usually, when a type implements IDisposable, you should create it inside a using statement to ensure that it is disposed of as soon as possible. HttpClient is different because it is shared, reentrant, and partially thread-safe.

The problem has to do with how the underlying network sockets must be managed. The bottom line is that you should...
