ASP.Net Notes

ASP.NET is the next generation ASP, but it's not an upgraded version of ASP.

ASP.NET is an entirely new technology for server-side scripting. It was written from the ground up and is not backward compatible with classic ASP.

ASP.NET is the major part of the Microsoft's .NET Framework.

ASP.NET is a server side scripting technology that enables scripts (embedded in web pages) to be executed by an Internet server.

ASP.NET is a Microsoft Technology

ASP stands for Active Server Pages

ASP.NET is a program that runs inside IIS

IIS (Internet Information Services) is Microsoft's Internet server

IIS comes as a free component with Windows servers

IIS is also a part of Windows 2000 and XP Professional

An ASP.NET file is just the same as an HTML file

An ASP.NET file can contain HTML, XML, and scripts

Scripts in an ASP.NET file are executed on the server

An ASP.NET file has the file extension “.aspx”

When a browser requests an HTML file, the server returns the file

When a browser requests an ASP.NET file, IIS passes the request to the ASP.NET engine on the server

The ASP.NET engine reads the file, line by line, and executes the scripts in the file

Finally, the ASP.NET file is returned to the browser as plain HTML

you cannot use more than one language in a single ASP.NET page
