To utilize values from a YAML file in a JSON file using ASP.NET, you can follow these steps:

1. Install the "YamlDotNet" package from NuGet.
2. Read the YAML file using "YamlStream" and "YamlDocument" classes.
3. Convert the YAML data to JSON format using "JsonConvert" class.
4. Create a JSON file using "File.WriteAllText" method.

Here is an example code snippet that shows how to implement the above steps:

using System.IO;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using YamlDotNet.RepresentationModel;

// Read the YAML data from file
var yaml = new YamlStream();
using (var reader = new StreamReader("config.yaml"))
{
    yaml.Load(reader);
}
var root = (YamlMappingNode)yaml.Documents[0].RootNode;

// Convert YAML data to JSON format
var jsonData = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(root);

// Create a new JSON file and write the data
File.WriteAllText("config.json", jsonData);

This code reads the data from a YAML file named "config.yaml", converts it to JSON format, and creates a new file named "config.json" with the JSON data. You can then utilize the values from this JSON file in your ASP.NET application.
