Setting up an ASP.NET Core MVC website

ASP.NET Core Razor Pages are great for simple websites. For more complex websites, it would be better to have a more formal structure to manage that complexity.

This is where the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern is useful. It uses technologies similar to Razor Pages, but allows a cleaner separation between technical concerns, as shown in the following list:

  • Models: Classes that represent the data entities and view models used in the website.
  • Views: Razor files, that is, .cshtml files, that render data in view models into HTML web pages. Blazor uses the .razor file extension, but do not confuse them with Razor files!
  • Controllers: Classes that execute code when an HTTP request arrives at the web server.
  • The code usually creates a view model that may contain entity models and passes it to a view to generate an HTTP response to send back to the web browser or other client.
