Adding ASP.NET 5 Templates To VS 2015

Image
Good day! One might notice that the ASP.NET 5 templates are not visible when creating a new Web Application Project in Visual Studio 2015 given that this is a fresh installation of the software. So to add the ASP.NET 5 Templates, download the ASP.NET 5 run-time tools Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools 2015 (RC) – Visual Studio 2015 and proceed with the setup. Restart your machine afterwards. That's it.. :-)

How To Post JSON Data With WebRequest In .NET

Hello, There was a question on how to post a JSON data using the WebRequest class on both C# and VB.NET given that using Ajax, the post data would look like this. data : '{ "age": "78", "weight": "51" }' In .NET, you need to store the JSON data into a string object and escape those double quotes before passing it to the WebRequest object. C#.NET string postData = "{ \"age\": \"78\", \"weight\": \"51\" }" ; VB.NET Dim postData As String = "{ ""age"": ""78"", ""weight"": ""51"" }" Cheers! :-)
