When maintaining existing ASP.NET applications, we often need to add some client side behaviour. I am a little surprised to see people reaching for Knockout in these scenarios but I think vuejs is a great alternative that is very much worth exploring.

ASP.NET Core has a powerful mechanism for implementing resource-based authorization using the IAuthorizationService and resource-based AuthorizationHandlers. In this blog post, we build a tag helper that makes it simple to use resource-based auhtorization to Razor views without writing any C# code in the view.

In ASP.NET Core, it's easy to control access to Controllers and Action Methods using the Authorize attribute. This attribute provides a simple way to ensure only authorized users are able to access certain parts of your application. While the Authorize attribute makes it easy to control authorization for an entire page, the mechanism for controlling access to a section of a page is a little clumsy. In this blog post, we build a Tag Helper that makes it incredibly easy to control access to any block HTML in a Razor view.

At the ASP.NET Hackathon in Redmond, we replaced the Razor view engine with Pug. It started off as a joke but it kind of worked okay so we rolled with it.

In today's post we take a look at how view components can be implemented in a separate class library and shared across multiple web applications.

The anxiously awaited ASP.NET Core RC2 has finally landed and with it we have a shiny new tag helper to explorer. In this post we will explore the new Distributed Cache tag helper and how it differs from the already existing Cache tag helper.
