ASP.NET Zero is a starting point for new web applications with a modern UI and SOLID architecture, with full source code.

Benefits of ASP.NET ZERO

ASP.NET Zero saves your time by providing common application requirements as a pre-built Visual Studio solution (with source code).

You don’t spend your valuable time to re-create login, authentication, user/role/permission management, localization, setting system, audit logging, multi-tenancy, UI components, exception handling system and so on…

SOLID Architecture

Layered, clean source code built on a strong base framework.

Built-in Multi Tenancy (SaaS)

Tenant, edition, feature, subscription and payment management.

Advanced Authentication & Authorization

User, role, permission management. Many built-in & integrated login options.

Rapid Application Development

In addition to built-in features, RAD tooling speeds up your daily development.
