ASP.NET as the most reliable framework
June 28, 2011 Leave a Comment
ASP.NET is a framework developed and released by Microsoft. It is basically used for web applications. This framework enables programmers and developers to design and build various web pages and applications dynamically. By dynamically it means, that the applications are created in runtime after the request for the page from the client has been accepted and deployed by the server. It includes many web services as well. The first installation of this software had been released for use in 2002. It is based upon the .NET framework, as is clear from its name. The first .NET version 1.0 was closely followed by ASP technology or Active Server Pages.
Just like the .NET framework, ASP.NET is also based on the CLR or Common Language Runtime. Hence codes for this can be written on any of the various languages that this software supports. This software even has a version with SOAP extension so as to be able to write codes for the same. The first draft of this software was termed as XSP. This first installment was based on Java, but the developers were not satisfied with the end result and hence they decided to shift. The better and developed draft was then built on C#. This move was taken in order to remove the dependency of ASP.NET on CLR.
A web page created with this software is typically known as form pr a web form. Each of these forms is named with an extension .aspx. The codes include controls that are deployed by the web server or on the client side by the user as and when required. They are written in XHTML markup language. It provides two kinds of web pages, static and dynamic and these two are also based on the requirement of the programmer. The static pages or a static part of the page stay back on the page, while the dynamic page or part is shifted into a file named .aspx.cs, where cs stands for c sharp.
