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

Prior to .Net Core, we use to handle file by passing various sort of parameters, like -in memory bytes, FileStream or file path and that use to work perfectly.  But when it comes to .Net Core, passing a file path will not work exactly as ASP.Net MVC. In earlier versions, the path we supplied was considered as a physical path whereas in Core, same API is used to denote the virtual path. In other words, whatever path is provided will be appended with site URL.  Now how to give physical path in .Net Core?  No worries! Here comes the PhysicalFile helper for our rescue. To know more about it, here you go. Keep learning!

Most of us might have worked upon various versions of ASP.NET and few of you must be aware about the major changes happened in application initialization and configuration phase. In this article, I'll be outlining few of those major changes starting from ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Core 1.x and ASP.NET 2.x. In ASP.NET: In an era of ASP.NET (prior to ASP.NET Core releases), loading of the application was handled by IIS or say Inetmgr was the one who use to call web application's entry point wherein Global.asax.cs use to provide the Application_Start()method.Below is the sample code snippet take from Global.asax.cx file:        public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication   {        protected void Application_Start()        {               AreaRegistration.RegisterA...

Nowadays one of the most popular question is ‘Can ASP.NET Core be chosen over ASP.NET MVC?’ So, to answer this question, let’s have a look at .NET architecture diagram:  By looking at above diagram, one can easily see that .NET framework is used develop desktop Windows applications using WPF and Windows Forms and Web applications using ASP.NET MVC. .NET Core supports UWP and ASP.NET Core libraries, in which UWP is used to create Windows 10 apps and ASP.NET Core is used to build Web applications for Windows/Linux/Mac operating systems. Now regarding what has to be chosen and when has to be chosen, I need not to re-invent the wheel because Jeff has written a very good article on it at ‘’Should I use ASP.NET Core or MVC5?’. Hope you find this post useful.
