How is the middleware pipeline configured (in Program.cs / Startup.cs)? ● In ASP.NET Core 6+ (minimal hosting model), middleware is added in Program.cs: var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args); var app = builder.Build();

pp.UseMiddleware<YourMiddleware>();

pp.UseRouting();

pp.UseEndpoints(endpoints => { endpoints.MapControllers();

});

pp.Run();

• In older versions (e.g., .NET Core 3.1), Startup.cs is used:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app,

IWebHostEnvironment env)

{

pp.UseMiddleware<YourMiddleware>();

pp.UseRouting();

pp.UseEndpoints(endpoints => {

endpoints.MapControllers(); });

}
