Equivalent of RouteData.GetRequiredString in ASP.NET 5
asp.net,asp.net-mvc-routing,asp.net-5
You could create an extension yourself. namespace Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc { public static class HelperExtensions { public static string GetRequiredString(this RouteData routeData, string keyName) { object value; if(!routeData.Values.TryGetValue(keyName, out value)) { throw new InvalidOperationException($"Could not find key with name '{keyName}'"); } return value?.ToString(); } } } ...

ASP.NET 5 Custom roles for Windows Authentication
asp.net,asp.net-mvc,authentication,windows-authentication,asp.net-5
You don't set up custom roles. You need to create a custom authorization attribute, as described here. UPDATE: Yes, you can use your custom authorize attribute globally. Let's say here's your custom authorize attribute: public class MyAuthorizeAttribute : AuthorizeAttribute { protected override bool AuthorizeCore(HttpContextBase httpContext) { var username = httpContext.User.Identity.Name;...
ASP.NET 5 (vNext) - Getting a Configuration Setting
I highly recommend using the OptionsModel instead of reading the configuration directly. It allows strong typed model binding to configuration. Here is an example: https://github.com/aspnet/Options/blob/dev/test/Microsoft.Framework.OptionsModel.Test/OptionsTest.cs#L80 For your particular case create a model: class AppSettings { public string SomeSetting {get;set;} } and then bind it to your configuration: var config =...

Output caching of API controllers in ASP.NET 5
.net,asp.net-web-api,asp.net-5,http-caching
Yes, you will be able to use the ResponseCacheAttribute. Because there is no difference between a Web Api Controller and an MVC Controller, you will be able to use the same attributes for both. This will apply whether it is the ResponseCacheAttribute, AuthorizeAttribute, RouteAttribute, or any others....
Getting a scoped component from a IDocumentStoreListener
dependency-injection,ravendb,asp.net-5
You can actually access RequestServices off of the HttpContext to get scoped instances. It's kind of backwards, and really will depend on Microsoft.AspNet to do it, but it will work for your situation; interestingly, IHttpContextAccessor is a singleton, too, though it gives you a scoped value. // injected: IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor;...
Application_Start equivalent in ASP.NET 5
As Simple Man said, there is no direct equivalent method in ASP.NET 5; similar functionality should be started by your services when appropriate in keeping with the Single Responsibility Principle. (The closest is the Configure method, which is where you should probably "start" any services that need to be "started".)...

The bottom line is that ASP.NET was not designed for doing work that is not an HTTP request. There's a few different ways to try to hack together a fire-and-forget situation (as I describe on my blog), but none of them are foolproof. WebJobs, on the other hand, are designed...
How do I set the TypeScript compiler version for an ASP.NET 5 MVC 6 project in Visual Studio 2015 RC?
asp.net-5,visual-studio-2015,asp.net-mvc-6,typescript1.5
There is no way to do this in ASP.NET 5 natively. This is something you should handle inside gulp or grunt tasks. See this sample grunt task for typescript. It is based on the dependency you have for grunt typescript plugin.
Can the project.json file in an asp.net 5 (dnx) project be moved?
asp.net-5,visual-studio-2015,dnx,.net-5.0
Short answer is "no". The new project system assumes two things: (1) folder name = project name and (2) project.json is in that folder. project.json is not a configuration file. It is the project metadata just like csproj is for C# projects While you still need to have a folder...

'Console' does not contain a definition for 'ReadKey' in asp.net 5 console App
Basically, Console.ReadKey is available in the full framework, but isn't available in .NET Core. That's why it's saying it's "Available" for ASP.NET 5.0 (building against the full framework) but "Not available" for ASP.NET Core 5.0 (building against CoreCLR). Either stop using it, or only build against the full framework -...

EF7 Beta 4 : AddEntityFramework dont accept argument (Configuration)
It looks like the tutorial you're following is using an older version of the EF7 framework. EntityFramework 7 beta 4 no longer accepts any parameters to AddEntityFramework. It looks like beta 5 is still on this same track, too. I believe what you're looking for is this: // Register Entity...
Resolve dependencies when calling constructor using DI with ASP.NET 5
First, you'll want to make sure the class you want to construct is registered with the DI container. (Given your example of a controller, it probably already is thanks to the MVC framework.) There's several ways to do this, the most basic of which is registering a Transient. Note this...
Configure the authorization server endpoint
c#,asp.net,oauth,asp.net-identity,asp.net-5
Okay, let's recap the different OAuth2 middleware (and their respective IAppBuilder extensions) that were offered by OWIN/Katana 3 and the ones that will be ported to ASP.NET 5: app.UseOAuthBearerAuthentication/OAuthBearerAuthenticationMiddleware: its name was not terribly obvious, but it was (and still is, as it has been ported to ASP.NET 5) responsible...
Kestrel on AspNet vNext doesnt serve index page under /
asp.net-mvc,osx,asp.net-5,asp.net-mvc-6,kestrel
You need to enable the DefaultFilesMiddleware using UseDefaultFiles() and place it before the call to UseStaticFiles(): app.UseDefaultFiles(); app.UseStaticFiles(); If you don't specify otherwise, the middleware uses the DefaultFilesOptions by default, which means this list of default file names will be used: default.htm default.html index.htm index.html See MSDN...

aspnet vNext ActionFilter and TempData
To access TempData from within an action filter, you can get the service called ITempDataDictionary from DI. To get this service from DI, you could either do something like actionContext.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetRequiredService<ITempDataDictionary>() from within your OnActionExecuting method. You could also use construction inject if you like by using ServiceFilterAttribute. NOTE: TempData by...
How to run nunit tests with asp.net 5 projects, espically with ReSharper?
DNX tests aren't currently supported by ReSharper. It's a whole new execution model, and hasn't yet been implemented for ReSharper. I'd expect to see support as DNX and asp.net stabilise and near release. Also, I don't believe nunit itself supports running as a DNX test runner - the xunit team...

Web API Authentication in ASP.NET 5
c#,asp.net,authentication,web-api,asp.net-5
Indeed, there'll be no OAuthAuthorizationServerMiddleware in ASP.NET 5. If you're looking for the same low-level approach, you should take a look at AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server: it's an experimental fork of the OAuth2 authorization server middleware that comes with Katana 3 but that targets OpenID Connect, as you already figured out ( OAuth...
Using Startup class in ASP.NET5 Console Application
What you're looking for is the right idea, but I think you'll need to back up a moment. Firstly, you may have noticed that your default Program class isn't using static methods anymore; this is because the constructor actually gets some dependency injection love all on its own! public class...
Package Manager in VS2015 RC fails on installing/restoring some packages

Access ASP.NET 5 View Component via URL
You cannot access a view component from a URL directly. A view component is just a component of a view and that view could be a regular or partial view. Based on your question, I believe you are trying to show the first page by default when the view (having...
ASP.NET 5 Web API doesn't return XML
xml,asp.net-web-api,content-type,asp.net-5
By default Xml formatters are not included as part of the Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc package. You need to reference another package called Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Xml for this. Example on how you can add the formatters: public IServiceProvider ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddMvc(); services.ConfigureMvc(options => { // This adds both Input and Output formatters based on...
What is the difference between 'dependencies' and 'frameworkAssemblies' in project.json?
frameworkAssemblies refers to assemblies present in GAC (global assembly cache). Consider the following example: I want to use ADO.NET apis(SqlConnection, SqlCommand) to work with a SQL Server database. I know that these apis are part of System.Data.dll and so want to reference it. Now when the full version of .NET...
Dependency Injection asp.net 5 custom classes, what is correct way?

Microsoft azure redis cache with DNX core 5
asp.net-5,stackexchange.redis,dnx
Unfortunately, StackExchange.Redis hasn't been updated for DNX Core. Even Microsoft references it in Microsoft.Framework.Caching.Redis. As another note, unless you're doing something specific with Redis, I suggest you look at the Caching framework interfaces; this will let you vary to other technologies for your caching solution, and won't require you to...
How to register custom UserStore & UserManager in DI
asp.net-5,asp.net-mvc-6,asp.net-identity-3
DI in general is intended for interface-driven development; .AddUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>() specifies an implementation UserManager<>, not the service interface. That means that it's still expecting you to get UserManager<ApplicationUser> and only use it that way; it'll give you an ApplicationUserManager. I'm assuming that you have additional methods you want to use on...
Authentication in ASP.NET 5 (vNext)

Can an ASP.NET 5 application be published such that the target machine doesn't need DNX installed?
In theory, you should be able to deploy your application into a machine where even .NET Framework is not installed but I remember hearing that even the dnxcore has some .NET Framework dependencies today and will be gone later (I could be mistaken, it's worth trying this out). Assuming this...

Can I use roslyn and the new .net project format to create classes on build?
c#,.net,asp.net-5,roslyn,.net-core
You can add a precompilation step, similar to what Razor does to precompile views: https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc/blob/64e726d2b26422c5452475627e4afaba307edec3/src/Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc/RazorPreCompileModule.cs Here's another example: https://github.com/aspnet/dnx/blob/e937e25ab3453ea86bda13c1297c41011dfda9de/ext/compiler/preprocess/Internalization.cs And this is how you hook it up https://github.com/aspnet/dnx/blob/3d20719b0a985b6960a3f87d9f5f9b6c3f71b7bc/src/Microsoft.Framework.Runtime/project.json#L16-L18...
