ASP - Active Server Page Introduction



ASP.NET is a web application framework developed and marketed by Microsoft to allow programmers to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services. It was first released in January 2002 with version 1.0 of the .NET Framework, and is the successor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. ASP.NET is built on the Common Language Runtime (CLR), allowing programmers to write ASP.NET code using any supported .NET language. The ASP.NET SOAP extension framework allows ASP.NET components to process SOAP messages.


ASP.NET files are run on the server-side, just as classic ASP and PHP, however unlike these languages ASP.NET is compiled, making it faster than interpreted languages. ASP.NET code is not fully backward compatible with classic ASP, since the VBScript commonly used in ASP has been replaced by full Visual Basic. Although it’s still possible to write code in the same way as in classic ASP, with code included in the markup, ASP.NET encourages a completely different approach by allowing code to be separated from the HTML markup, making it easier to program.
