Hello and Good Day! This article demonstrates on how to create an ASP.NET Core MVC application using Entity Framework Core Database First, Bootstrap 4, SQL Server, Unit Of Work And Repository Design Pattern. The IDE for this project is Visual Studio 2019 version 16.9.2. I also installed the Font Awesome icons since glyphicons are not supported in Bootstrap 4 and applied the Model Validation technique for checking of input data during submission of a form. I. Project Setup 1. Create an ASP.NET Core MVC application targetting .NET Core 3.1 or perhaps .NET 5.0 if you have it installed in your machine. 2. The project structure is composed of several folders such as Controllers, Data Access, Models and Views. For Data Access, add two more subfolders called Repository and UnitOfWork. We will need to segregate the interface and classes for the Data Access Layer. For the purpose of this tutorial, I did not add several class libraries in order keep this simple and straightforward. 3. A

This post illustrates on how to install or add icons to your ASP.NET Core MVC website pages using Font Awesome. If you added Bootstrap 4.x to your project, you might noticed that when you typed glyphicon in a class attribute of an html element, the intellisense does'nt show the glyphicons from Bootstrap 3.x. It's because Bootstrap 4.x does not support glyphicons anymore but instead encourage us to use Font Awesome. Given that you have already created your ASP.NET Core MVC project, the next thing to do is install via Libman the Font Awesome library. When installed, this will be mapped to your wwwroot folder. In Layout.cshtml page, reference these three files specifically fontawesome.css, regular.min.css and solid.min.css. In that way, Font Awesome is accessible globally in your project. <link rel= "stylesheet" href= "~/lib/font-awesome/css/fontawesome.css" /> <link rel= "stylesheet" href= "~/lib/Font-Awesome/css/regular.min.css&

Hi All! In this post, I'll demonstrate how to perform a model validation to a form in ASP.NET Core 3.1 MVC using Data Annotation Attributes and Bootstrap 4+ with reference to jQuery unobtrusive validation scripts to show error on the page. This concept has been applied since the early days of ASP.NET until it's recent release of .NET 5. I have applied this solution to some of the projects I've worked either ASP.NET MVC 4 or ASP.NET MVC 5. Enough talk and let's get down to business by applying this topic in a ASP.NET Core 3.1 project. First is to create an ASP.NET Core 3.1 MVC project using Visual Studio 2019 and add Bootstrap 4.0 package via NuGet as this will be used to style our form. In our Models folder, add an Employee class that contains common properties to describe an employee such as ID, Name and related data. Most of the properties are decorated with DataAnnotations attribute except for the Dependents since I'm only using a boolean value for that. pu
