ASP.NET Web Apps

Modern, scalable web apps with .NET and C#

Use .NET and C# to create websites based on HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript that are secure, fast, and can scale to millions of users.

Dynamically render HTML with Razor

Razor provides a simple, clean, and lightweight way to create dynamic web content using HTML and C#.

With Razor you can use any HTML or C# feature. You get great editor support for both, including IntelliSense which provides auto-completion, real-time type and syntax checking, and more.

Seamless integration with your data

The popular Entity Framework (EF) data access library lets you interact with databases using strongly typed objects.

Most popular databases are supported, including SQLite, SQL Server, MySQL, PostreSQL, DB2 and more, as well as non-relational stores such as MongoDB, Redis, and Azure Cosmos DB.

Build secure web apps

ASP.NET provides a built-in user database with support for multi-factor authentication and external authentication with Google, Twitter, and more.

ASP.NET supports industry standard authentication protocols. Built-in features help protect your apps against cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF).

Scaffolding, forms, and validation

Quickly scaffold user interfaces to interact with your data model, including query and update.

Dynamically generate HTML forms based on your strongly typed data model. Declaratively define validation rules, using C# attributes, which are applied on the client and server.

Interactive web UI with C#

Blazor is a feature of ASP.NET for building interactive web UIs using C# instead of JavaScript. Blazor gives you real .NET running in the browser on WebAssembly.
