ASP.NET
ASP.NET is a programming framework built on the common language runtime that can be used on a server to build powerful Web applications. By using ASP.NET you can easily write dynamic, high-performance Web applications in record time. ASP.NET offers a number of important advantages over previous Web development models:
- Easy
Programming Model. ASP.NET makes building real world Web
applications easier. ASP.NET server controls enable an HTML-like
style of declarative programming that lets you build great pages
with far less code than with classic ASP. Displaying data,
validating user input, and uploading files are all easy. ASP.NET
pages work in all browsers -- including Netscape, Opera, AOL, and
Internet Explorer.
- Great
Tool Support. You can harness the full power of ASP.NET
using any text editor --includingNotepad. But Visual Studio .NET
adds the productivity of Visual Basic-style development to the Web.
Now you can visually design (WYSIWYG editing) ASP.NET Web Forms
using familiar drag-drop-double-click techniques, and benefit from
full-fledged code support including statement completion and
color-coding. VS.NET also provides integrated support for debugging
and deploying ASP.NET Web applications.
- Rich Class Framework. Application features that used to be hard to implement, or required a 3rd-party component, can now be added in just a few lines of code using the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework offers over 4500 classes that encapsulate rich functionality like XML, data access, file upload, regular expressions, image generation, and more.
