mvc folder structure ASP.NET MVC
The folder structure of an ASP.NET MVC application follows a specific convention that helps organize different parts of the application. Here is an overview of the folder structure of an ASP.NET MVC application:
App_Data: This folder contains application data files such as databases, XML files, or text files.
App_Start: This folder contains startup code for the application, including the code that runs when the application starts and configuration settings for the application.
Content: This folder contains static files such as images, stylesheets, and client-side scripts that are used by the views in the application.
Controllers: This folder contains the controllers that handle incoming requests and generate responses.
Models: This folder contains the data models and business logic that are used by the application.
Scripts: This folder contains client-side scripts such as JavaScript files.
Views: This folder contains the views that generate the HTML response sent to the client. Views are organized into subfolders based on the controller that generates them.
Areas: This folder contains subfolders that organize the application into distinct sections or modules.
bin: This folder contains compiled code, including the application's DLLs and other dependencies.
Global.asax: This file contains code that runs at application startup, and also handles application-level events such as error handling and session management.
Web.config: This file contains configuration settings for the application, including settings for security, database connections, and other application settings.
