What are Application Parts in ASP.NET Core and why are they important?

Expert .NET Core
Quick Answer Application Parts are registered with ApplicationPartManager and contribute controllers, views, tag helpers, and other MVC components to the app. By default, the entry assembly is an Application Part. Add external assemblies to load controllers from plugins: builder.Services.AddControllersFromApplication(typeof(PluginAssembly).Assembly).

Answer

Application Parts let MVC discover controllers, views, pages, and Tag Helpers from assemblies or Razor Class Libraries. They enable modular architectures, plugin systems, and dynamic feature loading.
