What do we know about ASP.Net MVC 5.1

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.

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.
