Steps to configure the .NET Core Renderer
Edit the Startup.cs or Program.cs file of your .NET Core Renderer application and add Hawksearch to your services.
The Startup.cs should look like this:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
using Progress.Sitefinity.AspNetCore;
using Renderer.Hawksearch.UI.Infrastructure.Extensions;
namespace Renderer
{
public class Startup
{
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
// For more information on how to configure your application, visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=398940
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddHawksearch();
services.AddSitefinity();
services.AddViewComponentModels();
}
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseRouting();
app.UseSitefinity();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints => { endpoints.MapSitefinityEndpoints(); });
}
}
} |
| Info |
|---|
In Configure method add app.UseStaticFiles() before app.UseRouting() |

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddHawksearch();
builder.Services.AddSitefinity();
builder.Services.AddViewComponentModels();
builder.Services.AddFormViewComponentModels();
var app = builder.Build();
// Configure the HTTP request pipeline.
if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())

{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
app.UseHsts();
