History of ASP. NET
 In the Visual Basic model, developers could drop
controls onto a form, set properties for these
controls, and provide code behind them to
manipulate the events of the control.
 Then, in the mid-1990s, the Internet arrived on
the scene. Microsoft was unable to move the
Visual Basic model to the development of
Internet-based applications.
 The Internet definitely had a lot of power, and
right away the problems facing the client
application model were revealed(make visible).

History of ASP
 To participate in the Web application world,
Microsoft developed Active Server Pages (ASP).
 Microsoft’s first ever server side scripting language.
 ASP was a quick and easy way to develop Web
pages.
 ASP pages consisted of a single page that contained
a mix of markup and languages.

 ASP is server side scripting language the code is


integrating with HTML supporting Jscript, Vbscript.
 This was an easy way to create dynamic Web pages

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 an
object-oriented manner instead of the procedural
manner of ASP 3.0.”

 In the summer of 2000, the beta of what was


then called ASP+ was released at Microsoft’s
Professional Developers Conference.

the final release of the .NET Framework 1.0), it
was renamed ASP.NET
 The developer of visual basic who were
interested in web application as well, they and
developer of web application got a very good
drag and drop IDE for web development using
asp.net.
 Its model is much like the earlier Visual Basic

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.

By: Adnan Amin (Lecturer / Software Progr) 8


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 2.0
applications. (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.
The goal of ASP.net

 ASP.NET 2.0 now provides 64-bit support.


This means that you can now run your
