End with when you use it and one common pitfall.
STEPS — What happens step by step?
Before you speak the answer, walk the interviewer through these steps:
- 1System.Web is gone, HttpContext
is different, and many packages were rewritten.
- 2Bundling, membership, and web.config
transforms do not map one to one.
- 3I plan a strangler
rewrite of one area at a time rather than a big-bang port.
- 4Give an example
One tiny concrete case you can say aloud.
- 5Common mistake
What juniors usually get wrong.
- 6Close
When you pick this over the alternative.
EXAMPLE — See it in action
Here's a short line you can speak, broken into clear beats:
Note: Adapt this scaffold to your own project — keep it under 60–90 seconds.
Key takeaway
System.Web is gone, HttpContext is different, and many packages were rewritten. Bundling, membership, and web.config transforms do not map one to one.
