Does Asp.net 5 comes with OWIN out of the box or do we need install it?

  • Is Asp.net 5 pre-build with OWIN(Katana) package?
  • We don't need to add the Microsoft.Owin dll package into Asp.net 5. Am I right?
  • If we want to use OWIN then what's lacking in Asp.Net 5?

Thanks, Chandru

Solution

  • Edit: According to this The new asp.net pipeline supports OWIN through OWIN adapter, here is an example of that, more info on how OWIN fit in with asp.net 5 here.

    1. No, if you want to use it you need to add it to the pipeline through Startup.cs
    2. No, You need to add the Microsoft.AspNet.Owin to use it.
    3. You need to add middleware request pipeline, use Microsoft.AspNet.Owin
