Fritz’s 10 Minute Tips – ASP.NET Core Configuration

I recorded another short video to show the various ways that you can configure an ASP.NET Core application.

  • appsettings.json
  • environment variables
  • environment variables in web.config
  • user-secrets

Interested in seeing more sample videos like this?  I have more ideas and demos that I show at events that I can convert to YouTube videos if there is interest.
