History of ASP.NET

• 2002 – ASP.NET

• 2008 – ASP.NET MVC

• 2010 – ASP.NET Web Pages

• 2012 – ASP.NET Web API, Signal R

• 2015 – ASP.NET 5

What’s come in .NET 2015

.NET Core

.NET Core

.NET Core •

.NET Core Major Components• Two Major Components

• Core CLR • Built on the same codebase as the .NET Framework CLR.

• Includes the same GC and JIT (RyuJIT)

• Does not include features like Application Domains or Code Access Security.

• The runtime is delivered on NuGet (Microsoft.CoreCLR package)

• .NET Core Foundation Libraries (CoreFX)• Are the same code as the .NET Framework class libraries but does not contain

dependencies so have a smaller footprint.

• Available on NuGet (System.* package)

ASP.NET Transition

ASP.NET 5 and the Modern Web

Modern Web – Agility

Modern Web - Fast

Modern Web – Cloud

Modern Web – Cross Platform

Command Line Tools

- DNX (.NET Execution)- New execution environment of .NET- DNX bootstraps and runs your application- Not the CLR only, contains CoreFX as well- Install using DNVM

- DNVM (.NET Version Manager)- Set of command line utilities to update and configure which .NET Runtime to use- Downloadable from aspnet/home GitHub repository

- DNU (.NET Utility)- .NET Utility used to perform tasks like building, installing packages etc

ASP.NET 5

Servers

• IIS and WebListener is for Windows only

• Kestrel is designed to run Cross Platform

Windows based Servers

• IIS and IIS Express• Hosting ASP.NET 5 on IIS bypasses the legacy System.Web infrastructure and

load pipeline defined in Startup.cs

• WebListener• Windows-only server that allows ASP.NET to be hosted outside IIS,

• Runs directly on Http.Sys kernel driver of windows

• It provides same features interface as IIS

• You can think it as a library version of IIS

Cross Platform Server

• Kestrel• Web server based on libuv

• Libuv – cross platform asynchronous I/O library

• Kestrel is open source

• View on github

• https://github.com/aspnet/KestrelHttpServer

Dependency Injection

Registering Dependencies

Dependency Resolution

ASP.NET 5 depends on many packages

How the CLR Load the assemblies?

Two rules for loading Dependencies

- Nearest wins

- Cousin dependencies

Application using Nearest Wins

- Nearest-Wins allows a package/application to override any particular version of a package in its dependency tree by directly depending on the version it wants.
