anti forgery token asp global asax file

hi all, currently i try to implement the anti forgery token following microsoft article (the csrf and ajax section). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-api/overview/security/preventing-cross-site-request-forgery-csrf-attacks so if i make a post request to my form, the anti forgery token will be send from my javascript file to asp controller. here's the implementation i did :

 public class CustomAntiForgery : FilterAttribute, IAuthorizationFilter
    {
        public void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
        {
            if (filterContext == null)
            {
                throw new ArgumentNullException("filterContext");
            }

            var httpContext = filterContext.HttpContext;
            var cookie = httpContext.Request.Cookies[AntiForgeryConfig.CookieName];
            AntiForgery.Validate(cookie != null ? cookie.Value : null, httpContext.Request.Headers["__RequestVerificationToken"]);
        }
    }

 public class CustomAntiForgery : FilterAttribute, IAuthorizationFilter
    {
        public void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
        {
            if (filterContext == null)
            {
                throw new ArgumentNullException("filterContext");
            }

            var httpContext = filterContext.HttpContext;
            var cookie = httpContext.Request.Cookies[AntiForgeryConfig.CookieName];
            AntiForgery.Validate(cookie != null ? cookie.Value : null, httpContext.Request.Headers["__RequestVerificationToken"]);
        }
    }

my controller :

        [HttpPost] 
        [CustomAntiForgery]
        public ActionResult AddMemo{ //...}

        [HttpPost] 
        [CustomAntiForgery]
        public ActionResult AddMemo{ //...}

to enable the anti csrf token by default in global asax file, do we need to add CustomAntiForgery into the Application_Start() method? so it looks like this

        [CustomAntiForgery]
        protected void Application_Start()
        { //... }

        [CustomAntiForgery]
        protected void Application_Start()
        { //... }

interface instead of mapping one by one

hi all, im trying to use an interface to initialize common properties, for example INote that contains all common properties, and multiple classes will inherit from this INote, im trying to achieve something like : initialize once and can be used for all objects that inherit this INote interface previously i was doing one by one mapping for each objects that have common properties and found out there are lots of duplication (some resource say better to do manual mapping that use a library like automapper) so i try to do it using interface, but somehow even if a class inherit this INote i still can't do it like this : Memo resource = QueryVariant(new NoteItem(), "memo"); LongNote longNote = QueryVariant(new NoteItem(), "longNote"); did i miss anything here?

public interface INote{
  public long NodeId { get; set; }
  public string NoteName { get; set; }
}

public class LongNote : INote {
  
  public long NodeId { get; set; }
  public string NoteName { get; set; }

  public string barcodeID {get;set;}
  public string profileURL {get;set;}
}
 
public class Memo: INote {
  
  public long NodeId { get; set; }
  public string NoteName { get; set; }

  public string memoURL {get;set;}
  public string memoUniqueID {get;set;}
}

Memo resource = QueryVariant(new NoteItem(), "memo"); //doesnt work

private async Task<INote> QueryVariant(NoteItem item, string type) {
  INote note = type switch {
    "memo" => new Memo { /*initialize properties here*/ };
    // replicate for the other types
    _ => // throw some exception here
  };
  // initialize common properties in note here, i.e:
  note.id = item.Id.ToString():
  note.noteName = item.name;
  // etc
  return note;
}

public interface INote{
  public long NodeId { get; set; }
  public string NoteName { get; set; }
}

public class LongNote : INote {
  
  public long NodeId { get; set; }
  public string NoteName { get; set; }

  public string barcodeID {get;set;}
  public string profileURL {get;set;}
}
 
public class Memo: INote {
  
  public long NodeId { get; set; }
  public string NoteName { get; set; }

  public string memoURL {get;set;}
  public string memoUniqueID {get;set;}
}

Memo resource = QueryVariant(new NoteItem(), "memo"); //doesnt work

private async Task<INote> QueryVariant(NoteItem item, string type) {
  INote note = type switch {
    "memo" => new Memo { /*initialize properties here*/ };
    // replicate for the other types
    _ => // throw some exception here
  };
  // initialize common properties in note here, i.e:
  note.id = item.Id.ToString():

dependency injection in net framework

hi all, i understand that in net core we can add dependency injection like this

IConfiguration Configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
  .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true)
  .AddEnvironmentVariables()
  .AddCommandLine(args)
  .Build();

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container. 
builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews(); 
builder.Services.AddHttpClient(); 
builder.Services.AddScoped<Note>();

  .Build();

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container. 
builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews(); 
builder.Services.AddHttpClient(); 
builder.Services.AddScoped<Note>();

but this way doesnt seem to work in net framework, can anyone help advise how can we do this in net framework?
