Hot Area:

Suggested Answer:
Box 1: UseStaticFiles -
For the wwwroot folder. We serve static files from the wwwroot folder

Box 2: UseStaticFiles -

Box 3: UseStaticFiles -
Serve static from the Content folder to authorized users only.
Note the two app.UseStaticFiles calls. The first one is required to serve the CSS, images and JavaScript in the wwwroot folder (Box 1), and the second call (box 3) for directory browsing of the content folder
Code example:
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions()
{
FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(
Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), @"MyStaticFiles")),
RequestPath = new PathString("/StaticFiles")
});
