Ultimate ASP.NET 5 Web API Development Guide - Explore ASP.NET Core API Project and Explore Swagger UI

This video tutorial covers the use of Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code for .NET 6 development. It explains the interface of Visual Studio, the structure of solution and project files, and the MVC architecture in .NET Core. The tutorial also discusses app settings, program.cs, and the use of dependency injection. Finally, it demonstrates API testing using Swagger and compares it with Postman.

What is a key feature of Visual Studio that helps manage files in a project?

• Solution Explorer

• Code Editor

• Debugger

• Terminal

What is the purpose of a solution file in Visual Studio?

• To manage version control

• To store user settings

• To register all projects within a solution

• To compile the code

In the MVC architecture, what is the primary role of a controller?

• To store application settings

• To handle requests and send responses

• To manage database connections

• To display data to the user

What is the main advantage of the minimalist approach in .NET 6?

• It limits the use of external libraries

• It requires more memory

• To hold constants and configuration settings

• To manage user authentication

Which tool is built into the API for quick testing?

• JMeter

• Swagger

• Fiddler

• Postman

What is a benefit of using Postman over Swagger for API testing?

• It is integrated into Visual Studio

• It allows for longer debugging sessions

• It requires no setup

• It is faster for quick tests

What is the purpose of the 'GET' method in an API?

• To update data

• To create data

• To retrieve data

• To delete data

How does Swagger help in API development?

• By providing a user interface for database management

• By offering a graphical interface for API testing

• By compiling the application

• By managing version control
