Controllers

In the previous chapter, we discussed that all web applications receive requests from the server and produce a response that is delivered back to the end user. This chapter covers the role of controllers in ASP.NET MVC applications and details the procedure of creating a controller and action methods. 

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:

• Explain the role of the controller in ASP.NET MVC applications
• Work with the routing engine
• Install the ASP.NET Core NuGet packages in your application
• Create your first controller and action methods
• Add a view and make the changes that allow your controller to use that view
• Add a model and pass that model data to your view
