Don't worry. Not everyone knows it...

Exclusive Amazon Deals Today I thought to create my first demo using Visual Studio 2015 for ASP.NET Core 1.0. So, I opened VS2015 and chose Web Application template under ASP.NET 5 Templates. Visual Studio started creating a project for me. Although my project was created but at the same time some DNX error was thrown as shown below:                     I tried various options including restarting machine, re-installing Visual Studio, etc. But Alas ! Nothing worked. But on surfing for few hours, I found a solution which worked for me. You can run any of the below commands: dnvm update-self OR dnvm upgrade   Open Visual Studio 2015 and do dnvm update using command line as:     Once this command was executed, I didn’t get that error again. Hope reading this blog will save your few minutes of troubleshooting. Enjoy learning.

Exclusive Amazon Deals ASP.NET Core 1.0 is a new open-source framework for building modern Web applications. As compared to previous versions of ASP.NET there are many major changes happened. I’ll try to capture most of the changes in this blog post. ASP.NET Core 1.0 was initially named as ASP.NET 5. I’m dedicating this blog post to showcase the major features of ASP.NET Core 1.0. Single aligned web stack ASP.NET Core 1.0 is a single aligned web stack on top of ASP.NET for Web API and Web UI as shown in below figure (image taken from mva):   Above figure clearly depicts that there is very less sharing between these three stacks.

Exclusive Amazon Deals In one of the recent announcements, Microsoft has changed the name of ASP.Net 5 and .Net Core 5. Official blog post says: However, naming the new, completely written from scratch ASP.NET framework "ASP.NET 5" was a bad idea for a one major reason: 5 > 4.6 makes it seem like ASP.NET 5 is bigger, better, and replaces ASP.NET 4.6. Not so. So we're changing the name and picking a better version number. ASP.NET 5 is now ASP.NET Core 1.0. NET Core 5 is now .NET Core 1.0. Entity Framework 7 is now Entity Framework Core 1.0 or EF Core 1.0 colloquially.   

Exclusive Amazon Deals Few days back I downloaded Update 1 of Visual Studio 2015 using VS2015 Extensions. It ran quickly but in the end it reported that .Net Framework 4.6.1 RC had not been installed. On restart and installation, it was successfully installed. But when I tried to open and run my already created ASP.NET application, I landed up with another issue. Visual Studio 2015 was not able to launch IIS Express. This was not an end. I noticed another strange thing. Although my installation was successful, Extension's dialog was still showing that Update 1 is available. Now I was left with only one option – uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio 2015. So, I went to control panel and selected Visual Studio Enterprise. As soon as I clicked on that, a notification popped up:               I clicked on Update and noticed that check box provided for VS 2015 Update 1 was still unchecked in the newly opened window as shown...
