Here we will talk about everything that is new and updated in the latest version of the ASP.NET kernel. The latest version is 3.0. One of the most significant improvements in this update is the support for Windows desktop applications; for Windows only.
With the help of the Windows Desktop component of the .NET Core 3.0 SDK component, you will be able to port your Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications. In short, the Windows Desktop component will only be supported and included on Windows.
Before we get to all of the new features in .NET core 3.0, let us understand why the ASP.NET kernel is preferred for development.
ASP.NET Core 3.0 Features
ASP.NET core can be described as open source with cross-platform support, including the command line interface. It was formerly known as vNext which was renamed to the ASP.NET kernel. It supports Windows, Mac and Linux platforms, including mobile, cloud and IOT solutions as well as the cloud environment.
A lightweight, high-performance ASP.NET main web application has immense potential and contains its own advantages for developing enterprise-level web applications.
- Easy to maintain
When you code in ASP.NET, you can do more in less amount of code. This language demands less coding where developers can easily optimize the coding structure and develop an application with as few lines of code as possible. This creates a loop; lesser the coding, the easier it is to maintain. - Cross-platform capabilities
If you consider web application development for enterprises, having cross-platform capabilities becomes inevitable; supporting all platforms. Any web application that you build using ASP.NET will run smoothly on Mac, Linux, and Windows. If a business wants more exposure on other platforms, development in .NET core can prove beneficial.Previously while developing cross-platform apps, one needs to develop only frontend with the same C# code for the backend. By enabling With modern .NET standard libraries, one can develop your cross-platform with maximum capabilities..NET Core 3.0 adds support for C# 8.0. It would be appropriate to use use Visual Studio 2019 16.3 Preview 4, Visual Studio for Mac 8.3, or Visual Studio Code along with the C# extension. - Support for Cloud-Based Development
It is always better to develop cloud-based applications. Considering large enterprises, ASP.NET core provides the development of a multitude of web applications, mobile back-end, Internet of Things apps etc.This makes ASP.NET Core the go-to solution for your enterprise business requirements. Regardless if you are a small business owner or a large corporate, ASP.NET aids in developing amazing web applications. - Modularity
If you are an expert web developer, you would know that to add new functionalities to packages, you can easily rely on NuGet packages. The Package Manager Console and the NuGet Package Manager are what you will need when looking to install and configure libraries.With the new update, NuGet has been extended to include the main feature of ASP.NET. It has an opt-in model, where the developers can choose the features of the framework that they want in their projects. This will also make maintaining and updating the projects easier than before. - Extensible Output Caching
With this tool, you can cache the results generated by a particular page, and will come up with the results during future requests. With this, you can store data that is not updated frequently. When the request is called for, the data will be cached from the cached location. The tool helps you to specify the time required for the data to be cached. Storing this data can be done within the web server itself. Providers like Redis can handle output coaching. - Blazor server side
Blazor has come a long way since its inception. From being an “experimental” feature it has become a full-fledged framework for building SPA kind of applications using C#, HTML, and CSS. That’s right! You can build the goodness of SPA using Blazor without using JavaScript. Of course, it will takes its own time to mature into a framework of choice but at least that process has began. Blazor comes with two hosting models – server side and client side.The server side hosting model uses SignalR as a channel for client-server communication. The client side model uses WebAssembly download and run a .NET application in order to run it within the browser’s boundary. As a part of the final release Blazor server side is being released whereas Blazor client side is planned to be released at some later date. Don’t miss this welcome addition to the ASP.NET Core family.
New updates in ASP.NET core 2.2
With the latest version being released, what were some cool new features in ASP .NET Core 2.2? You can continue to work with ASP .NET Core 2.2 in the latest version of Visual Studio 2017 or VS Code with the .NET Core 2.2 SDK.
- Health Checks API
- Template updates from client-side
- Better Open API (Swagger) Integration
- SignalR Java Client
- HTTP/2 Server Support
- Greater perf: IIS throughput, MVC model validation + routing, HTTP Client
.NET Core SDK Windows Installer
Before we get to the endnotes, one thing to note here is that the MSI installer for Windows has been changed from .NET Core 3.0. These SDK installers will now upgrade versions of the SDK feature strip.
These feature bands were defined in groups of hundreds with the patch section of the version number. For example, 3.0.101 and 3.0.201 are versions in two different functionality bands while 3.0.101 and 3.0.199 are in the same functionality band.
Additionally, when the .NET Core SDK 3.0.101 is installed, the .NET Core SDK 3.0.100 will be scanned from the machine if it exists. And, when .NET Core SDK 3.0.200 is installed on the same machine, .NET Core SDK 3.0.101 will not be removed.
