ASP.NET Core 2.1: Razor UI as Class Library

One of the new features of ASP.NET Core 2.1 is, Razor UI as a class library. It makes easier to build and include Razor based UI in a library and share it across multiple projects. A new Razor SDK will enable building Razor files into a class library project that can then be packaged into a NuGet package. You can package your Razor views and pages (.cshtml files) along with your controllers, page models, and data models. Apps can then include pre-built UI components by referencing these packages and customize the UI by overriding specific views and pages. In this post, we’ll see how to create Razor UI as class library and how to reuse it. Read More

Import and Export excel in ASP.NET Core 2.0 Razor Pages

Last year around this time I wrote about Import and Export xlsx in ASP.NET Core, using an unofficial version of EPPlus.Core as EPPlus didn’t have .NET core support. In fact, many such popular libraries lacked support for .NET Core as the framework was not mature enough then. When .NET Standards came, the situation improved a bit, but the release of .NET Standards 2.0 was a booster for .NET Core as that helped to port existing .NET Framework based libraries to use with .NET Core.

NPOI is another very popular package for reading/writing excel files, and it also has .NET core version as well. This post talks about how to import or export excel files (xls or xlsx) using NPOI package with ASP.NET Core 2.0 Razor pages. Read More

Handle Ajax Requests in ASP.NET Core Razor Pages

Razor Pages are a new feature of ASP.NET Core that makes coding page-focused scenarios easier and more productive. Razor pages use handler methods to deal with the incoming HTTP request (GET/POST/PUT/Delete). These are similar to Action methods of ASP.NET MVC or WEB API. Razor Pages follow particular naming convention and that is also true for Handler methods. They also follow particular naming conventions and prefixed with “On”: and HTTP Verb like OnGet(), OnPost() etc. The handler methods also have asynchronous version: OnGetAsync(), OnPostAsync() etc. Calling these handler methods from jQuery Ajax is tricky.
