The Coder Foundry tutorials for the blog application use .NET 5, however I decided to develop my blog in the newer .NET 6 and learn about the differences between the .NET versions.
In .NET 5, there are 2 classes to configure the application:
- Startup.cs
- Make configuration changes such as adding a Db connection, or using dependency injection
- Program.cs
- Builds and runs the application
In .NET 6 the Startup class is no longer an individual file, and instead has been merged into the Program class.
The main differences in the code from the tutorials were:
- Registering classes and services should be done in Program.cs:
- after 'var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);'
- before 'var app = builder.Build();'
- 'builder.Services.' instead of just 'services.'
