ASP.NET Core Coding Demo

Displaying A Start Page in ASP.NET Core 3.1 Web API project. When we create a Web API project using Visual Studio 2019 Template there is no file to display when the web application start. That is because Web API doesn't need to display any information to the user or the public. But some times we may need to add a little bit of information to the site, or even during the development stage we may need to show some information. Add app.UseDefaultFiles(); app.UseStaticFiles(); to the Configure method in the Startup.cs file. Then Add a Folder and name it as wwwroot . This is is very important. Then add the Index.html file inside wwwroot folder. Now we can edit the index.html file to add any information. That's it.

Create Visual Studio Custom Project Templates for ASP.NET Core Razor Pages Web Application Traditionally Visual Studio comes with several default templates. There are two types of templates: Project templates, and item templates. Using those templates we build more complete projects for our own business use. Sometimes we want to create more specific types of templates. For example, if we have a customized project and we want to use it to create projects more often, Visual Studio provides a way to store them as a template and reuse them when creating a project.  Apart from this now with the new Dotnet core, there is a new set of templates available for Visual Studio. .Net core templates can be used either by Visual Studio  & Visual Studio for Mac or the dotnet command line (dot net new).
