ASP.NET Core 3
Required Software
- Visual Studio 2019 (any edition) version 16.3 (or later)
You can check the version number of Visual Studio 2019 by selecting [Help > About Microsoft Visual Studio].
Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition is available as a free download from <https://www.visualstudio.com/>.
- .NET Core 3.0.1 SDK (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download)
If you aren’t sure what version of .NET Core you currently have installed, run “dotnet --info” from a command line.
- LocalDB or SQL Server (any version)
Installed by default as part of the Visual Studio installation process.
To confirm the installation of LocalDB, you can execute [ sqllocaldb i ] from a command prompt. This should list the LocalDB instances that are available. If the command is not recognized then LocalDB is not installed.
If not installed, you can download an installer for LocalDB from <http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062> Choose the file named SqlLocalDB.MSI
If using a version of SQL Server other than LocalDB, you must be able to connect to the database with sufficient permissions to create a new database.
- Postman application for testing and debugging Web APIs
Available as a free download from <https://www.getpostman.com/>.
A different web debugging proxy application (such as Fiddler) can be used if necessary.
