1. Scaffolding - Generate Template Views/Controllers

What it is: Scaffolding is like having a helper that automatically writes basic code for you. Instead of writing all the Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) operations by hand, scaffolding looks at your data model and generates the controller and views automatically.

How it works:

• You create a model class (like Product, Customer, etc.)
• Visual Studio generates controller with all basic actions (Index, Create, Edit, Delete, Details)
• It also creates all the corresponding view files
• Saves you from writing repetitive boilerplate code

Benefits:

• Faster development
• Consistent code structure
• Less typing and fewer mistakes
• Good starting point that you can customize later

2. Server Side Validation - Attribute Based

What it is: Server-side validation checks if the data sent from the user is correct and safe before processing it. Attribute-based validation uses special tags (attributes) on your model properties to define validation rules.

Common validation attributes:

• [Required] - Field must have a value
• [StringLength] - Text must be within certain length
• [Range] - Numbers must be within min/max range
