Using MVC to Develop the Project (Cont.)

Controller (HomeController.cs)


C:\ASP.NET-workspace\HelloWorld\Controllers\HomeController.cs 
 using System.Diagnostics;
 using HelloWorld.Models;
 using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;

 namespace HelloWorld.Controllers {
  public class HomeController: Controller {
   private readonly ILogger<HomeController> _logger;

   public HomeController( ILogger<HomeController> logger ) { _logger = logger; }

   public IActionResult Index( ) { return View( ); }

   public IActionResult Privacy( ) { return View( ); }

   [ ResponseCache( Duration = 0,
     Location = ResponseCacheLocation.None, NoStore = true ) ]
      
   public IActionResult Error( ) {
    return View( new ErrorViewModel { RequestId =
     Activity.Current?.Id ?? HttpContext.TraceIdentifier } );
   }
  }
 }
using System.Diagnostics;
The namespace provides classes that allow you to interact with system processes, event logs, and performance counters.

using HelloWorld.Models;
It is a directive that allows you to use classes defined within the Models folder of your project, assuming that folder contains your data models.

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
It provides types required to build an MVC app.

namespace
A namespace is a declarative region that provides a scope to the identifiers (names) such as variables, functions, classes, etc. It’s essentially a container that helps organize and prevent naming conflicts, especially in large projects. Think of it like a directory in a file system, where you can have files with the same name as long as they are in different directories.
