Creating web applications can be fun. Though it requires specific technical knowledge and can be complex for beginners, it is quite an exciting activity. Can you imagine creating your application with your preferred designs and layouts? Asp.net core makes it possible. You can create a web application on several platforms for different purposes, that too without consulting a .net core development company. The following is a guide for building web applications using .net Core on Visual Studio that is beneficial for beginners.

Guide

  • First, you need to go to Visual Studio 2019 and click on ‘create new project’. You will find this option at the right-hand side bottom of the home page.
  • The ‘create new project’ option will have several.net core 3 templates for developing applications. Each of these options and templates will create several predefined files. However, these predefined files depend on the kind of application you want to build. If you’re going to make a simple application, you should select the ASP.net core web application template. Click on ‘next’ once you choose your preferred template.
  • Before creating an application, you need to fill up the details of your application. The details should include your application’s name, its location, and other similar information. You can give any name to your application. Remember to use a simple name without numbers or special characters. Once this step is done, you should click on the ‘create’ option.
  • After your web application name and details are entered, you must choose the suitable ASP.net core template. You would find several kinds of templates like that of a web application, MVC, empty, API, and many more. If you want to create a web application, you should choose the web application template. Remember, the template you select depends on the kind of application you want to make.
  • Next, you need to decide whether you want to configure HTTPS. If you are a beginner, it is better to avoid HTTPS configurations at this point. In this case, you need to uncheck the HTTPS configuration option. Click on the ‘create’ option once you are done.
  • You have now created an ASP.Net core web project in visual studio. Once your application is made, you need to wait for some time for the visual studio to process the data and automatically update or delete configurations.
  • To run this application, you should click on the IIS express option.

Conclusion

Though creating web applications using .Net core can seem challenging for beginners, following the steps above can make it easy. It is better to create web applications on Visual Studio because of its user-friendly interface.

Beginners can also click on the Visual Studio guide on the home page to know more about its operations. The guide and the overall layout of Visual Studio ease the web application development process. The several templates of ASP.net core also enhance the web application development experience.
