Last year around this time I wrote about Import and Export xlsx in ASP.NET Core, using an unofficial version of EPPlus.Core as EPPlus didn’t have .NET core support.

When .NET Standards came, the situation improved a bit, but the release of .NET Standards 2.0 was a booster for .NET Core as that helped to port existing .NET Framework based libraries to use with .NET Core.

They also follow particular naming conventions and prefixed with “On”: and HTTP Verb like OnGet(), OnPost() etc. The handler methods also have asynchronous version: OnGetAsync(), OnPostAsync() etc. Calling these handler methods from jQuery Ajax is tricky.

One of the new key feature of ASP.NET Core 2.0 is Razor Pages. Razor Pages are simple pages or views without controllers and introduced with the intent of creating page focused scenarios where there is no real logic is involved. You will find razor pages similar to ASP.NET Web Forms. They work on the convention and need to be placed in Pages folder and the extension is .cshtml. If you already have a folder named “Pages” in your solution, then it will create problems. Ideally, you would like to have a different name for the Razor page directory to avoid any issues.
