Creating a new project in asp.net core 2.1

Here's a step-by-step guide to creating a new project in ASP.NET Core 2.1:

Prerequisites:

*.NET Core 2.1 SDK installed on your machine

• Visual Studio 2017 or later (or Visual Studio Code with the.NET Core extension)

Step 1: Open Visual Studio

• Launch Visual Studio 2017 or later.
• If you have multiple versions of Visual Studio installed, make sure you're using the correct one.

Step 2: Create a new project

• Click on "File" > "New" > "Project..." (or press Ctrl + Shift + N).
• In the "New Project" dialog box, select ".NET Core" under the "Visual C#" section.
• Choose "ASP.NET Core Web Application" from the list of project templates.
• Click "Next".

Step 3: Configure the project

• In the "Create a new ASP.NET Core web application" dialog box:
  • Enter a name for your project (e.g., "MyNewProject").
  • Choose a location to save your project.
  • Select ".NET Core 2.1" as the target framework.
  • Choose "Web Application" as the project template.
  • Select "Empty" as the project template (this will create a basic project structure without any pre-built functionality).
  • Click "Create".

Step 4: Configure the project settings

• In the "Solution Explorer" window, right-click on the project and select "Properties".
• In the "MyNewProject Properties" window:
  • Set the "Target framework" to ".NET Core 2.1".
  • Set the "Runtime" to ".NET Core 2.1".
  • Click "OK".

Step 5: Create a new controller

• In the "Solution Explorer" window, right-click on the project and select "Add" > "Controller".
• In the "Add Scaffold" dialog box:
  • Select "MVC Controller - Empty" as the controller template.
  • Enter a name for your controller (e.g., "MyController").
  • Click "Add".

Step 6: Create a new view

• In the "Solution Explorer" window, right-click on the project and select "Add" > "View".
• In the "Add View" dialog box:
  • Select "MVC View" as the view template.
  • Enter a name for your view (e.g., "Index").
  • Click "Add".

Step 7: Run the project

• Press F5 or click on the "Debug" > "Start Debugging" menu item to run the project.
• The project will start in the browser, and you'll see the default ASP.NET Core 2.1 page.

That's it! You've successfully created a new project in ASP.NET Core 2.1. You can now start building your application by adding controllers, views, models, and other features as needed.
