Web Languages

Whether you are a backend or a full stack web developer, we have the right tools for you. The latest Visual Studio offers powerful HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JSON editors. Tap into the power of LESS, and Sass, use PHP, Python, or C# with ASP.NET. All the popular languages are supported and you can move between languages and project types with ease.

C# / ASP.NET Core

ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform, high-performance, free, open-source framework for building modern, cloud-based, Internet-connected applications. With ASP.NET Core, you can build web apps and services, IoT apps, and mobile backends. Use your favorite development tools on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Deploy to the cloud or on-premises while using the languages that you know: HTML and JavaScript. Leverage the ASP.NET Razor syntax to inline C# directly in your views. Use TypeScript to create typed, scalable and more manageable code that compiles into JavaScript.

Razor

The ASP.NET Razor syntax allows you to inline C# directly inside your views. You’ve got full access to the current Model as well as to .NET framework types.

Tilde slash

You can use the tilde (~) character in Razor markup to indicate the root of the website. This is particularly useful when the root of the application is located in a subfolder of an existing website.

Model-driven development

The models used in an ASP.NET application can be annotated to provide a wide range of experiences such as database schema generation, view scaffolding, client- and server-side validation and more.

Roslyn compiler

The .NET Compiler Platform (“Roslyn“) provides open-source C# and Visual Basic compilers with rich code analysis APIs. It enables building code analysis tools with the same APIs that are used by Visual Studio.

Code-based configuration

Any identity, routing and database configuration is code based to allow you to easily manipulate the configuration logic for your web app.

JavaScript

The JavaScript editor in Visual Studio supports EcmaScript 6 and has the most advanced IntelliSense engine on the market. JavaScript is a first-class language in Visual Studio. You can use most or all of the standard editing aids (code snippets, IntelliSense, and so on) when you write JavaScript code in the Visual Studio IDE.

CSS, Less, Sass, and Font Awesome in ASP.NET Core

Most non-trivial sites benefit from being able to effectively define and maintain styles and cascading style sheet (CSS) files, as well as having easy access to non-image icons that help make the site’s interface more intuitive. That’s where languages and tools that support Less and Sass, and libraries like Font Awesome, come in.
