In this article we are going to create a web application using ASP.NET Core MVC with the help of Visual Studio Code and ADO.NET.

At the time of writing this post, default ASP.NET Core SPA templates allow you to create Angular 5 based app with Visual Studio without installing any third-party extensions or templates. Angular 6 is out now and you can also upgrade the Angular 5 app to Angular 6 . What if you want to create Angular 6 app with VS 2017? This post talks about how to create an Angular 6 App with Visual Studio 2017 and how to extend it with a simple example. 

Team Explorer support for TLSv1.2

• We have updated the Git and the Git Credential Manager components that ship in Visual Studio.
• The optional Git for Windows component has also been updated.
• This update allows Git to connect to services that have deprecated support for TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 in favor of TLSv1.2.

Issues Fixed in this Release

These are the customer-reported issues addressed in this release:

• Projects targeting .NET Core 2.1 or newer are not supported by Visual Studio 2017 version 15.5.
• Fixed issue where installation of the SDK for .NET Core 2.1 or newer would cause the option to create ASP.NET Core 2.0 Web applications to disappear. 

Today, we are releasing an update to .NET 8.0.400 SDK due to an issue with (MSBuild Crash when publishing containers)[dotnet/sdk#42731].

The .NET 8.0.401 release is available for download. This SDK includes the previously released .NET 8.0.8 Runtime and is in support of Visual Studio 17.11 release. The latest 8.0 release is always listed at .NET 8.0 Releases.

ASP.NET Core 1.0 (formerly ASP.NET 5) provides a revamped Web development framework geared towards the requirements of modern Web applications. The new framework, currently in RC1, requires you to learn many new concepts not found in ASP.NET MVC 5. To that end, this article enumerates a few important features that ASP.NET MVC 5 developers should know as they prepare to learn this new framework. 

At work, we are planning to migrate our WPF application from .NET Framework 4.7 to .NET Core 3.0. The main reason for doing so is that it was always a big pain to organize the updates of the .NET Framework on our customer machines. So being able to bundle .NET Core with our application is a big plus for us. Then, for sure, we are looking for the performance improvements brought by .NET Core and finally the new capabilities brought by the fast pace of innovation of .NET Core. 

Building secure web apps is challenging, but ASP.NET Core 2.0 makes it easier. In this session, learn some key web security concepts, and then dive into the nuts and bolts of applying these concepts in a modern application

You already know how role-based authorization works in ASP.NET Core.

[Authorize(Roles = "Administrator")]
public class AdministrationController : Controller
{
}

But what if you don't want hardcode roles on the Authorize attribute or create roles later and specify in which controller and action it has access without touching source code?

DynamicAuthorization helps you authorize users without hardcoding role(s) on the Authorize attribute with minimum effort. DynamicAuthorization is built at the top of ASP.NET Core Identity and use identity mechanism for managing roles and authorizing users. 

In this article, we are going to learn about Vertical Slice Architecture in ASP.NET Core and the benefits it provides to make our code more maintainable. We’re also going to learn how it differs from traditional architecture and its advantages over the traditional approach.
