SOLID principles

As explained in ASP.NET Core in Action, 3e

SOLID is a mnemonic for five object-oriented design principles: single responsibility, open-closed, Liskov substitution, interface segregation, and dependency inversion.

SOLID is a mnemonic for five object-oriented design principles: single responsibility, open-closed, Liskov substitution, interface segregation, and dependency inversion. section 8.1

These principles provide durable guidance for object-oriented software design. ASP.NET Core applies dependency injection throughout its framework libraries, connecting SOLID with modular application structure. section 8.1

Registration email service

A registration handler can construct EmailSender and all its dependencies manually, but dependency injection lets the handler request EmailSender while the container supplies its dependencies. This illustrates the practical relationship between dependency inversion and dependency injection. section 8.1

How ASP.NET Core in Action, 3e covers it

How deep it goes
Defines the five-principle mnemonic and connects it to dependency injection, but does not explain each principle individually.
Examples
Uses C# registration handlers, email senders, manually created dependencies, and container-provided dependencies.
What you can do after
Understand how dependency injection applies one SOLID-related design idea to control application complexity.
How it connects
Connects object-oriented programming with dependency inversion, dependency injection, inversion of control, and ASP.NET Core.
