ASP.Net Programming

ASP.NET, the next version of ASP, is a programming framework used to create enterprise-class Web Applications. These applications are accessible on a global basis leading to efficient information management. The advantage ASP.NET offers is more than just the next version of ASP.

Why we need to go for ASP.NET?

However, ASP script was an interpreted script and consisted unstructured code and was difficult to debug and maintain. As the web consists of many different technologies, software integration for Web development was complicated and required to understand many different technologies. Also, as applications grew bigger in size and became more complex, the number of lines of source code in ASP applications increased dramatically and was hard to maintain. Therefore, an architecture was needed that would allow development of Web applications in a structured and consistent way.

The .NET Framework was introduced with a vision to create globally distributed software with Internet functionality and interoperability. The .NET Framework consists of many class libraries, includes multiple language support and a common execution platform. It’s a very flexible foundation on which many different types of top class applications can be developed that do different things. Developing Internet applications with the .NET Framework is very easy. ASP.NETis built into this framework; we can create ASP.NET applications using any of the built-in languages.
Unlike ASP, ASP.NET uses the Common Language Runtime (CLR) provided by the .NET Framework. This CLR manages execution of the code we write. ASP.NET code is a compiled CLR code instead of interpreted code (ASP). CLR also allows objects written in different languages to interact with each other. The CLR makes development of Web applications simple.

Advantages Using ASP.NET
  • ASP.NET drastically reduces the amount of code required to build large applications
  • ASP.NET makes development simpler and easier to maintain with an event-driven, server-side programming model
  • ASP.NET pages are easy to write and maintain because the source code and HTML are together
  • The source code is executed on the server. The pages have lots of power and flexibility by this approach
  • The source code is compiled the first time the page is requested. Execution is fast as the Web Server compiles the page the first time it is requested. The server saves the compiled version of the page for use next time the page is requested
  • The HTML produced by the ASP.NET page is sent back to the browser. The application source code you write is not sent and is not easily stolen
  • ASP.NET makes for easy deployment. There is no need to register components because the configuration information is built-in
  • The Web server continuously monitors the pages, components and applications running on it. If it notices memory leaks, infinite loops, other illegal software or activities, it seamlessly kills those activities and restarts itself
  • ASP.NET validates information (validation controls) entered by the user without writing a single line of code
  • ASP.NET easily works with ADO .NET using data-binding and page formatting features
  • ASP.NET applications run faster and counters large volumes of users without performance problems
