C# Web Development Tutorial: Building a Dynamic Website from Scratch117

C# is a versatile programming language that can be used for a wide range of development tasks, including web development. In this tutorial, we will explore the basics of C# web development and guide you through the process of building a simple dynamic website from scratch.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Visual Studio 2019 or later
.NET Core SDK 3.1 or later
Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Creating a New Web Application

To create a new C# web application, open Visual Studio and select "Create a new project." In the New Project dialog box, select " Core Web Application" and click "Next." In the Configure New Project dialog box, enter a name for your application and choose the target framework as ".NET 5.0." Click "Create" to create the project.

Adding Razor Pages

Razor Pages are a lightweight alternative to MVC for creating dynamic web pages. To add a Razor Page to your project, right-click on the Pages folder in Solution Explorer and select "Add" > "Razor Page." In the Add Razor Page dialog box, enter a name for the page and click "Add."

Creating Models

Models represent the data that is used by your web pages. To create a model, right-click on the Models folder in Solution Explorer and select "Add" > "Class." In the Add New Item dialog box, enter a name for the class and click "Add."

Configuring Startup Class

The Startup class is responsible for configuring the services and middleware used by the application. In the ConfigureServices method, add the following code to register the model as a service:```csharp
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
();
}
```

In the Configure method, add the following code to use the model in the request pipeline:```csharp
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
();
(endpoints =>
{
();
});
}
```

Building the User Interface

Open the Razor Page created earlier and replace the default content with the following code:```csharp
@page
@using ;

@```

In this code, the @page directive specifies that this is a Razor Page and the @using directive imports the namespace containing the model class. The
