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

In this article, we will create a Web API with in-memory database using Entity Framework and ASP.NET Core 2.0 without any theoretical explanation. To know more on concepts and theory, my previous articles can be referred. Let’s quickly create a new ASP.NET Core application by choosing API template and name it as ConferencePlanner. Add a new Model entity named Workshop inside a newly add Models folder as shown below: public class Workshop {     public int Id { get ; set ; }     public string Name { get ; set ; }     public string Speaker { get ; set ; } } Here we are going to use in-memory class along with EF. So, we have to add a new class for setting up the database context as shown below: public class ApplicationDbContext :DbContext {     public ApplicationDbContext(DbContextOptions<ApplicationDbContext> context): base (context)     {     } } Now we ha...

This is a feature which can be used on the command line to watch our web application. Whenever a C# class is modified and saved, it automatically re-compiles and re-runs whatever command we pass into it. In other words, as soon as C# code is modified and saved, the watcher will see those changes and re-compiles the code without a need to close the running application . Let’s have a look on how it works. Step 1: Open any existing ASP.NET Core 2.0 project and open it’s project file by right clicking on project and clicking on ‘Edit XXX.csproj ‘ and add one more line as highlighted below: < ItemGroup >     < DotNetCliToolReference Include = " Microsoft.DotNet.Watcher.Tools " Version = " 2.0.2 " />     < DotNetCliToolReference Include = " Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools.DotNet " Version = " 2.0.2 " />     < DotNetCliToolReference Include = " Microsoft.Extensions.SecretManager.Tools " Ver...
