I'm mostly working with backend development in .net, but I need implementing web UI (+ possibly mobile app) for my pet project. Can someone "list" possible ways to do it? Maybe something about no code framework? I didn't find such stuff for .net eco system. NOTE: I can work with asp.net in general, but it looks overkill for me given it's only for pet project.

These are all the different UI frameworks available in .net ecosystem:

  • Asp.Net Core MVC
  • Asp.Net Core Razor Pages
  • Blazor web assembly (SPA)
  • Blazor server side (SPA)

I recommend you to use razor pages, It's great for small projects, easy to learn, and super clean syntax.

If you prefer to have a SPA application, try out Blazor server side.

If you're not familiar with html/css, use a css framework, like bootstrap

  • yeah. I know, but as I wrote, I'm not really familiar with HTML/Razor controls, markup and etc. I would prefer to use some kind of designer (like in WPF or WinForms) where I can just simply drag and drop controls and assign event handlers (preferably without web specific). Unless something like this is possible – totoshka May 23 '22 at 13:27

    In modern .net, there isn't a drag and drop design system, there is web forms but it's for .net framework and it's obselete – spaleet May 23 '22 at 13:31
  • maybe it's possible to combine some approaches not initially for .net? Like creating html markup in designer somewhere and then just import it to let's say asp.net mvc? And then I will just need to assign handlers in controller? – totoshka May 23 '22 at 13:36
  • Yes, it's possible, create html/css design where ever you want, then use it in .net, use razor pages – spaleet May 23 '22 at 13:38

    If you're going to create web pages then you're going to have to deal with HTML, CSS and JavaScript at some point. Just because it's a pet project doesn't really mean you should treat it like a second-class project. Take this as an opportunity to at least learn the basics of these technologies. – phuzi May 23 '22 at 13:38
  • `to have to deal with HTML, CSS and JavaScript at some point` => yeah, but given that I need super simple UI (like few buttons + list), I hoped I can avoid diving into web specific details – totoshka May 23 '22 at 13:40
  • `create html/css design where ever you want,` - can you recommend something? Better if it's free – totoshka May 23 '22 at 13:42
  • Adobe XD (paid), Figma (free) then convert to html – spaleet May 23 '22 at 13:46

    FYI comments are not for extended discussion - they're just for clarification. Also, the question is off-topic (asking for recommendations). Continuing to add recommendations (both as an answer and in follow-on comments) doesn't fit here on Stack Overflow. – David Makogon May 23 '22 at 14:53
