ADO.Net has a very tedious API out of the box, so Weasel alleviates that with quite a few extension methods to make your code a little quicker to write and hopefully much easier to read later as well. 

The following high-level features are planned for the ASP.NET Core 2.1 release:

SignalR - Real-time web framework on ASP.NET Core (aspnet/SignalR#394)
HTTPS - On by default and easy to configure (aspnet/Home#2308)
GDPR compliance - Templates updated with new privacy features (aspnet/Security#1561, aspnet/Identity#1341)
Web API conventions - Rich Swagger support without attributes (aspnet/Mvc#6870, aspnet/Mvc#6784)
IHttpClientFactory - HttpClient as a service, handle cross-cutting concerns like caching, retry logic, timeouts and circuit breakers (aspnet/HttpClientFactory#42)
ASP.NET Core Module in-proc hosting - 6x the throughput on IIS! Better startup error handling (aspnet/AspNetCoreModule#265)
Razor pages improvements - Support for areas, ~/Pages/Shared (aspnet/Mvc#6926, aspnet/Mvc#7193)
MVC functional test fixture - Easily test your MVC apps end-to-end (aspnet/Mvc#6233)
Build-time Razor - Compile Razor pages and views as part of your build, improved startup performance (aspnet/Razor#1809)
UI as a library - Package Razor pages and views as reusable libraries (aspnet/Razor#1809)
Identity UI package and scaffolder - Add identity to any application (aspnet/Home#2311)
WebHooks - Handle WebHook notifications from ASP.NET Core apps (aspnet/WebHooks#5)

Using source control (1 of 5) | Getting started with GitHub

Welcome to the Getting started with GitHub series, where you will learn how to share your code from within Visual Studio by using Git and GitHub. In this episode, Robert shows how to add a solution to source control. 

In this post, I explain how to use Microsoft Report in MVC 4. Most of the developer use Microsoft Report (rdlc) for generating report  in asp.net application. Here I have explained how we can use Microsoft Report (rdlc) in MVC
