Hello all,
Here are a few more things about ASP.NET that every novice should know.
In traditional ASP the executable code was written along with the HTML code i.e. some lines of HTML and then some lines of ASP and then some more lines of HTML & so on, for a beginner this make the code very difficult to understand also it is a tiring task to read or even modify such codes.
ASP.NET adderssed this issue as well with the help of three kinds of server controls.
A. HTML Server Controls.
B. Validation Server Controls.
C. Web Server Controls.
ASP.NET was designed with the issue of scalability in mind. ASP.NET is capable of being scaled over several servers at a time with very little loss of communication.
[b]
Scalability[b] - In a broad sense of the term scalability in computing means being able to function properly or even better when there is a change in the environment in terms of volume or size.
ASP.net is not cross platform compatible though i.e. you cant play mix and match with it, as its been made by microsoft it can only run on microsoft IIS servers.
ASP.NET is not totally compatible with ASP i.e. it is not fully backwards compatible.
