ASP.

NET FEATURES
ASP.NET offers three frameworks for creating web
applications:

WEB FORMS
ASP.NET core,
ASP.NET MVC,
ASP.NET Web Forms: contain various web pages and GUI applications such as text box,
data grid, label, checkbox, hyperlink, etc. It provides flexibility to web pages at run time as
well as design time.

ASP.NET MVC: It is the Model-View-Controller application model which can be merged

with the new ASP.NET Core. It is used to build dynamic websites as it provides fast
development.

ASP.NET Web Pages: These are the single page application which can be merged into
ASP.NET Core. ASP.NET API: It is the Web Application Programming Interface(API)
Here are some key features and concepts of ASP.NET Web Forms:
Visual Design and Drag-and-Drop Controls: Web Forms provide a visual design surface in which you can drag and drop various
web controls (such as text boxes, labels, buttons, data grids, etc.) onto the page. This allows developers to design the user interface
without writing extensive HTML and JavaScript code manually.
Event Model: Web Forms introduce an event-driven programming model. You can define server-side event handlers for various
user interactions, like button clicks or dropdown selections. This makes it easy to respond to user actions and execute server-side
logic.
State Management: Web Forms offer built-in state management mechanisms to preserve data across postbacks (interactions
between the client and server). ViewState and Control State are two methods to maintain the state of controls and data on the
page.
Separation of Concerns: While Web Forms encourage mixing HTML and code, you can still achieve a degree of separation of
concerns by using code-behind files. These files allow you to write the server-side logic separately from the visual design.
Rich Server Controls: ASP.NET Web Forms provide a wide range of server controls that encapsulate complex functionality.
These controls emit HTML and JavaScript but abstract much of the underlying complexity. Examples include the GridView
control for displaying tabular data and the FormView control for displaying a single record.
Master Pages: Web Forms support master pages, which enable you to create a consistent layout and design for multiple pages in
your application. Master pages allow you to define a common structure, headers, footers, and navigation menus.
Validation Controls: ASP.NET Web Forms include validation controls that make it easy to perform client-side and server-side
data validation. These controls help ensure that user input is accurate and complete before processing i
 Model-View-Controller (MVC) Pattern:three main components: Model, View, and
Controller. This separation promotes modularity, maintainability, and testability.
Model: Represents the application's data and business logic. It encapsulates data access,
manipulation, and validation.
View: Represents the user interface elements and presentation logic. It displays the data to
the user and handles user interactions.
Controller: Acts as an intermediary between the Model and View. It handles user input,

full of features and provides an awesome platform to create and

develop web application. Here, we are discussing these features of
web forms.
• Server Controls
• Master Pages
• Working with data
• Membership
• Client Script and frameworks
• Routing
• State Management
• Security
• Performance
 SERVER CONTROLS -Web forms provides rich set of server controls. These
controls are objects that run when the pages is requested and render markup to
the browser. It also provides controls that we can use to connect to data sources
and display.
MASTER PAGES -It allows to create a consistent layout for the pages in our
application. When users request the content pages, they merge with the master
page to produce output that combines the layout of the master page with the
content from the content page.
WORKING WITH DATA -In an ASP.NET Web Forms application, we use
data-bound controls to automate the presentation or input of data in web page
UI elements such as tables and text boxes and drop down lists.
 MEMBERSHIP- Project's Account folder contains the files that implement the
various parts of membership: registering, logging in, changing a password, and
authorizing access. Additionally, ASP.NET Web Forms supports OAuth and
OpenID.
CLIENT SCRIPT AND FRAMEWORKS 7- We can enhance the server-based
features of ASP.NET by including client-script functionality in ASP.NET Web
Form pages. We can also use client script to make asynchronous calls to the Web
server while a page is running in the browser.
ROUTING -We can configure URL routing of our application. A request URL is
simply the URL a user enters into their browser to find a page on our web site. We
use routing to define URLs that are semantically meaningful to users and that can
help with search-engine optimization (SEO).
 STATE MANAGEMENT -ASP.NET Web Forms includes several options that
help you preserve data on both a perpage basis and an application-wide basis.
SECURITY -Developing a secure application is most important aspect of software
development process. ASP.NET Web Forms allow us to add extensibility points
and configuration options that enable us to customize various security behaviors in
the application.
PERFORMANCE- Web Forms provides good performance and allows us to
modify performance related to page and server control processing, state
management, data access, application configuration and loading, and efficient
coding practices.
DEBUGGING AND ERROR HANDLING -We can diagnose problems that occur in our
Web Forms application. Debugging and error handling are well supported within ASP.NET
Web Forms so that our applications compile and run effectively
