Microsoft’s
ASP .Net is a premium MVC framework in the industry. From its first day
of launch, it has never seen failure in its lifecycle. Everytime it
come up with new and advanced features to sustain in the market and give
challenge to its counterparts like PHP, JSP, Python etc. When we think
of web development, ASP .Net is always in the top of the list for the
web developers in the industry. The best part is its MVC architecture to
ensure quality output in an efficient manner. MVC architecture gives
maximum room to the ASP .Net developer to develop quick and dynamic web
applications on the fly. With the latest ASP .Net 5.1, Microsoft has
again proved that it is up to date with the demand of the market with
various new features which enables the ASP dot Net developers to develop
even better enterprise standard web applications for the future. Let us
discuss few significant improvements in the latest version.
Enum support:
While developing a web application in ASP .Net, developer used face a
problem to implement enum values to different HTML components like
Dropdown list, list etc. This time Microsoft has not left any stone
unturned. It is listening its users and implemented the same in the
framework. Now an ASP .Net developer can use the enum values in the
Dropdown list using HTML helper i.e. “EnumDropDownListFor” and in list
using EnumHelper.GetSelectList(). It makes the programming more fun and
useful at the same time.
Improved attribute routing:
Though Attribute routing was not a new concept in ASP .Net but, it was
already there since Version 5. This time there is some improvements in
the same due to the demands from the .Net developers. Now, an ASP .Net
developer has the ability to get Route selected depending upon the
header. This helps in better and efficient web app development.
Moreover, Route versioning is also an improved feature of latest ASP
.Net 5. Last but not the least, now you can use constraints in attribute
routing. This improves the quality of programming to a next level.
Support for current Context in Unobtrusive Ajax:
In the early version of ASP .Net, the developer had no option to locate
the invoking element while calling an Unobtrusive Ajax call. With the
latest version, the ASP .Net developer has given the power to locate the
invoking element using a “this” object. Now, he can do more tasks using
this function in Unobtrusive Ajax calls in different ways like
OnFailure, OnBegin, OnSuccess etc.
Integration of bootstrap:
Web development has seriously influenced with twitter bootstrap. This
enables the user to have more controls over the contents of the web page
that too dynamically. Bootstrap is a industry leading javascript
library to develop and design modern web applications that are not only
beautiful but also attractive and interactive. Moreover, it gives a new
look and feel to the user interface that will definitely loved by the
users. The best part is it makes the web page more responsive so that it
can be used in different platforms and devices like smart phones and
tablets. In short, we can say with integration of Bootstrap within ASP
.Net, Microsoft is trying to make it even more powerful and future ready
than before. You can get in touch with a custom asp.net web development company who can help you develop web apps that are stable, scalable and secure.
