History of ASP. NET

In the Visual Basic model, developers could dropcontrols onto a form, set properties for thesecontrols, and provide code behind them tomanipulate the events of the control.

Then, in the mid-1990s, the Internet arrived onthe scene. Microsoft was unable to move theVisual Basic model to the development of Internet-based applications.

The Internet definitely had a lot of power, andright away the problems facing the clientapplication model were revealed(make visible).

pages.

ASP pages consisted of a single page that contained

a mix of markup and languages.

ASP is server side scripting language the code isintegrating with HTML supporting Jscript, Vbscript.

This was an easy way to create dynamic Web pages

customized based.

XSP Idea

In late 1998, Microsoft employees Marc

Anders and Scott Guthrie had other ideas.

Their ideas generated what they called XSP(an abbreviation with no meaning)

“A new way of creating Web applications in anobject-oriented manner instead of the proceduralmanner of ASP 3.0.”

In the summer of 2000, the beta of what wasthen called ASP+ was released at Microsoft’s

Professional Developers Conference.

The ASP.net environment

When the technology became available (withthe final release of the .NET Framework 1.0), itwas renamed ASP.NET

The developer of visual basic who wereinterested in web application as well, they anddeveloper of web application got a very good

drag and drop IDE for web development usingasp.net.

Its model is much like the earlier Visual Basic

model in that a developer can drag and drop acontrol onto a design surface or form,manipulate the control’s properties,

The goal of ASP.net

When the ASP.NET team started working

on ASP.NET 2.0, it had specific goals to

achieve. These goals focused around developer

1. Productivity,

2. Administration and management

3. Performance.

4. Scalability.

1. Productivity Huge productivity gains were made with the

release of ASP.NET.

One goal the team had eliminated much of 

the tedious coding that ASP.NET originally

required and to make common ASP.NET

tasks easier. New controls developed with many

capabilities such as

◦ Data grid , Grid view (Controls)

◦ Sorting, Paging, editing, Searching etc(Capabilities)

2. Administration & Management Microsoft Management Console (MMC)

snap-in that enables Web application

administrators to edit configuration settings

easily on the fly.

Web or system administrators have a web-

based way to administer their ASP.NET 2.0applications. (see on next page)

2. Performance and Scalability One of the goals for ASP.NET 2.0 set by the

Microsoft team was to provide the world’s

fastest Web application server.

ASP.NET 2.0 now provides 64-bit support.

This means that you can now run your

ASP.NET applications on 64-bit Intel orAMD processors.
