Many of you all may have
noticed some of the major changes in the current beta release of
ASP.NET5. Providing information on ASP.NET5, it is the most widely
accepted new release of ASP.NET in this history of the ASP.NET
framework.
Moreover, the language
has been rewritten from the ground up. If you don’t have complete
information about the major changes of ASP.NET and MVC6, you can
continue reading this blog post and find important changes of
ASP.NET5.
ASP.NET on OSX and
Linux –
In the history of
ASP.NET, for the very first time, you can run ASP.NET 5 applications
on OSX and Linux. Now, ASP.NET5 applications are running on Windows,
Linux and OSX. And it is one major factor that opens up ASP.NET to a
whole new audience of developers as well as designers.
When it comes to the
traditional audience for ASP.NET, it is professional developers, who
are working in a corporation. However, corporate customers are joined
to their Windows machines. Moreover, startups lean to make use of
OSX/Linux. The main point is that all these people are not the
traditional users of ASP.NET. In addition to this, designers as well
as front-end developers also tend to make use of Macbook Pros.
Enabling ASP.NET 5 to run
on Windows, Linux and OSX changes everything. All the professional
developers and designers can begin with developing applications with
ASP.NET 5. They can make use of their favorite development
environments like WebStorm and Sublime Text while working with
ASP.NET applications. Let’s have a look at OmniSharp project to
know how you can make use of editors like Sublime Text, Emacs, Atom,
Brackets with ASP.NET 5.
No More Visual Basic –
Now, it is right time to
say good bye to Visual Basic. ASP.NET 5 supports C# and Visual Basic
is left behind. All the people were hoping that this change won’t
be too painful. However, there are only two people in the world, who
are developing MVC apps in Visual Basic. And it is right time for
them to stop it. There are numerous automatic converters for going
from Visual Basic to C#.
Tag Helpers –
When it comes to talking
about Tag Helpers, it is the best feature, which might have the
biggest impact on the way that you can develop your own views in an
ASP.NET MVC application. Tag helpers are the best alternative to
using traditional MVC helpers. One can consider the following MVC
view, which contains a form for developing a new product:
@model
MyProject.Models.Product
@using
(Html.BeginForm())
{
<div>
@Html.LabelFor(m
=> p.Name, "Name:")
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => p.Name)
</div>
<input
type="submit" value="Create" />
}
In the above mention, the
HTML.BeginForm(),Html.LabelFor(), and Html.TextBoxFor() helpers are
used to develop the form. These helpers would not be familiar to an
HTML designer. Let’s have a look at how the exact same form can be
developed by using Tag Helpers:
@model
MyProject.Models.Product
@addtaghelper
"Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.TagHelpers"
<form
asp-controller="Products" asp-action="Create"
method="post">
<div>
<label
asp-for="Name">Name:</label>
<input
asp-for="Name" />
</div>
<input
type="submit" value="Save" />
</form>
You can also notice that
this new version of the form comes with HTML elements. For instance,
the form contains an INPUT element rather than an html.TectBoxFor()
helper. A front-end designer would be fine with this page. However,
the best thing about this special is the special asp-for attributes.
These attributes can be used to extend the elements with server-side
ASP.NET MVC functionality.
AngularJS
For developing Single
Page Applications (SPAs), AngularJS is the best client-side
framework. Visual Studio 2015 comes with templates for developing
AngularJS modules, directives, controllers and factories.
In ASP.NET 5, the support
for GruntJS makes ASP.NET a great server-side framework for
developing client-side AngularJS apps. You can also join and minify
all the AngularJS files automatically whenever you achieve a build.
With an MVC 6 controller, you can easily interact from an Angular JS
$resource using REST.
Unified MVC and Web
API Controllers
In the earlier version of
ASP.NET MVC, MVC controllers were completely different than Web API
controllers. However, MVC controllers are making use of the
system.Web.MVC.Controller base class and a Web API controller used
the system.Web.Http.ApiController base class.
One can see that there is
one and only one Controller class, which is the base class for both
MVC and Web API controllers in MVC 6. There is only the
Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Controller class. An IActionResult has been
returned by MVC 6.
At the time of using an
MVC controller, the IActionResult might be a view. While using a Web
API controller, the IActionResult might be data. Both MVC
controllers as well as Web API controllers can use the same routes in
MVC 6. However, user can make use of either convention-based routes
or attribute routes.
