ASP.NET 6.0 - Build Hands-On Web Projects - Request Delegate Usage for Inline Middleware

The lecture covers request delegates in ASP.NET Core, focusing on inline middleware using anonymous methods. It explains the role of terminal middleware in short-circuiting the request pipeline and demonstrates how changing the order of middleware affects the response. The session also explores chaining request delegates using extension methods like run, use, and map.

What is the primary purpose of request delegates in ASP.NET Core?

• To build the request pipeline

• To handle database connections

• To manage user authentication

• To configure server settings

Which extension method is used to add a terminal middleware delegate?

• app.Use

• app.Configure

• app.Run

• app.Map

What happens when a terminal middleware is reached in the pipeline?

• It restarts the pipeline

• It continues to the next middleware

• It logs an error

• It short circuits the pipeline

How does the position of a request delegate affect the middleware pipeline?

• It updates the user interface

• It changes the server configuration

• It alters the response received

• It modifies the database schema

What is the role of the 'use' extension method in middleware?

• To terminate the request pipeline

• To chain multiple request delegates

• To configure database connections

• To handle static files

What is the effect of placing a terminal middleware at the end of the pipeline?

• It logs all requests

• It processes all previous middleware

• It skips all previous middleware

• It throws an exception

What is the significance of the 'await' keyword in asynchronous programming?

• It allows the thread to continue execution

• It logs the request details

• It terminates the application

• It blocks the thread until completion

Which method is used to write a response asynchronously in the middleware?

• context.InvokeAsync

• context.Response.WriteAsync

• context.Request.WriteAsync

• context.ExecuteAsync

What is the purpose of the 'next' parameter in the 'use' extension method?

• To handle exceptions

• To log the request

• To invoke the next middleware

• To terminate the request

What is the outcome when a request meets a terminal middleware?

• The request is logged

• The request is redirected

• The request is terminated

• The request is processed by all middleware
