This book caters specifically to ASP.NET Web Forms developers looking for guidelines. As well as strategies for migrating their existing apps to a modern, open-source, and cross-platform web framework.<\/p>\n<h3>Blazor E-book for ASP.NET Web Forms<\/h3>\n<p>Blazor is a new web framework that changes what is possible when building web apps with .NET. It is also a client-side web UI framework based on C# instead of JavaScript. When paired with .NET running on the server, Blazor enables full-stack web development with .NET. Blazor shares many commonalities with ASP.NET Web Forms. Such as having a reusable component model and a simple way to handle user events. It also builds on the foundations of .NET Core to provide a modern and high-performance web development experience. Additionally, Blazor is a natural solution for ASP.NET Web Forms developers looking to take advantage of client-side development and the open-source, cross-platform future of .NET.<\/p>\n<p>In this book, each Blazor concept is presented in the context of analogous ASP.NET Web Forms features and practices. The book covers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Building Blazor apps. <\/li>\n<li>How Blazor works.<\/li>\n<li>Blazor&#8217;s relation to .NET Core. <\/li>\n<li>Reasonable strategies for migrating existing ASP.NET Web Forms apps to Blazor where appropriate. <\/li>\n<li>A reference sample that demonstrates the migration strategies used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dotnet.microsoft.com\/blob-assets\/images\/e-books\/blazor-for-web-forms-devs.png\" alt=\"Blazor for ASP.NET Web Forms Developers Cover Image\" title=\"Blazor for ASP.NET Web Forms Developers\" height=\"300\" \/> <br \/> <div  class=\"d-flex justify-content-center\"><a class=\"cta_button_link btn-primary mb-24\" href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/blazor-ebook\" target=\"_blank\">Download PDF<\/a><\/div> <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/dotnet\/architecture\/blazor-for-web-forms-developers\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Read Online<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Should I Still Use ASP.NET Web Forms?<\/h3>\n<p>Of course! As long as the .NET Framework ships as part of Windows, ASP.NET Web Forms will be supported. For many Web Forms developers, the lack of cross-platform and open-source support is a non-issue. If you do not require cross-platform support, open-source, or any other new features in .NET Core or .NET 5, then stick with ASP.NET Web Forms on Windows. ASP.NET Web Forms will continue to be a productive way to write web apps for many years to come!<\/p>\n<h3>Other Free E-books<\/h3>\n<p>If you are in the path of migrating your existing web and server apps, check out our free e-books on <a href=\"https:\/\/dotnet.microsoft.com\/learn\/aspnet\/architecture#ebook-grpc-for-wcf-devs-swimlane\">gRPC for WCF Developers<\/a>.
