ASP.NET Core in Action, 3e

IResult is an ASP.NET Core interface representing the result produced by an HTTP endpoint for an HTTP response.

How it is used
Uses IResult to let minimal API endpoints return accurate HTTP status codes and customized responses.
How deep it goes
Explains return conventions, ExecuteAsync, helper types, status codes, and manual-response alternatives without implementing a custom result.
Examples
Demonstrates fruit lookup and creation, not-found and bad-request responses, Problem Details helpers, files, binary data, streams, and a manual teapot response.
What you can do after
Apply it via Results and TypedResults to build minimal API endpoints with deliberate success and error responses.

IResult is an ASP.NET Core interface representing the result of executing an HTTP endpoint.

How it is used
Shapes endpoint handlers that return successful responses or expected failures without throwing exceptions.
How deep it goes
Defines the shared return type through focused endpoint examples, but does not detail IResult internals.
Examples
Uses ASCII-art text, invalid fonts, barcode images, Results.Content, Results.NotFound, and Results.File.
What you can do after
Apply it via ASP.NET Core endpoint handlers to select content, not-found, or file responses from operation results.
