Questions about folders in ASP.NET Core

Question

I am in doubt about what each project folder means. Could someone explain me briefly? I would also like to know about the omnisharp.

FOLDERS:

obj

pages

properties

wwwroot

appsettings

csproj

program.Cs

startup.Cs

Answer 1

I don’t know if this is the case, but this folder structure seems to have been removed from the template Web Application (Razor pages) of Visual Studio.

In this case: obj: Serves for the compiler to store temporary objects used in the build

pages: Serves to store the associated *.cshtml (and *.Cs) files, or basically the pages of your website.

properties: It is a Visual Studio directory, to store some project configuration files.

wwwroot: Serves for static content such as HTML, CSS and JS files.

appsettings: It is not a directory, but a json file, where your website settings are located.

csproj: It is not a directory, but the project file of your site. It specifies the dependencies and other settings. It is similar to the package.json, on the Node.

program.Cs: It’s not a directory either. It’s where your website’s endtrypoint (or "main") usually is.

startup.Cs: It is also not a directory. It is a file commonly used to configure the site startup as well as the Asp.net execution pipeline.

The omnisharp for already deserved another answer... It is a set of plugins and extensions for the editors most used to facilitate the development of applications .Net. As far as I know, one of the main objectives of the same is forcener refactoring tools to expedite development.
