Reviewing the Basics of the ASP.NET Platform (Chapter 1)
Microsoft has done a great job of bringing ASP and their older languages into the twenty-first century with .NET.ASP.NET, using VB.NET, is now a full- fledged object-oriented Web application development platform, and has seen many improvements; but the past legacy languages should not hold back a new initiative as massive as .NET, so Microsoft developed a new headline-grabbing language for the .NET Framework, called C#.
C# was built from scratch as the .NET language.While it has features familiar to C programmers, and it has some of the great RAD features so beloved by Visual Basic programmers, it is completely new. Some have said that C# is Microsoft’s “me too” language to compete with Sun’s Java.
If Microsoft does one thing well, that is building developer tools, (remember, the product that first put Microsoft on the map was their version of Basic), and C# with Visual Studio.NET certainly lives up to expectations. C# is a truly modern language with all the features you could wish for, such as full object-orientation (unlike the C++ bolted-on approach), automatic memory management, and housekeeping.
The following are some key points about ASP.NET:

The following are some key points about ASP.NET:
- ASP.NET is a key part of the wider Microsoft .NET initiative, Microsoft’s new application development platform.
- .NET is both an application architecture to replace the Windows DNA model and a set of tools, services, applications and servers based around the .NET Framework and common language runtime (CLR).
- Rather than just being ASP 4 or an incremental upgrade,ASP.NET is a complete rewrite from the ground up, using all the advanced features .NET makes available.
- ASP.NET can take advantage of all that .NET has to offer, including support for around 20 or more .NET languages from C# to Perl.NET, and the full set of .NET Framework software libraries. Web applications written in ASP.NET are fast, efficient, manageable, scalable, and flexible, but, above all, easy to understand and to code!
- Components and Web applications are all compiled .NET objects written in the same languages, and they offer the same functionality, so no need to leave the ASP environment for purely functional reasons.
- You’ll have less need for third-party components. With a few lines of code,ASP.NET can talk to XML, serve as or consume a Web service, upload files, “screen scrape” a remote site, or generate an image.
