ASP.NET is the next generation ASP, but it's not an upgraded version of ASP. ASP.NET is an entirely new
technology for serverside scripting.
ASP.NET is a part of the !icrosoft .NET fra"ewor#, and a powerful tool for creating dyna"ic and interactive
web pages.
ASP.NET Introduction

$hat %ou Should Already &now
'efore you continue you should have a basic understanding of the following(
$$$, )T!*, +!* and the basics of building $eb pages
Scripting languages li#e ,avaScript or -'Script
The basics of server side scripting li#e ASP or P)P
What is Classic ASP?
!icrosoft's previous server side scripting technology ASP .Active Server Pages/ is now often called classic
ASP.
ASP 0.1 was the last version of classic ASP.
ASP.NET is NOT ASP
ASP.NET is the next generation ASP, but it's not an upgraded version of ASP.
ASP.NET is an entirely new technology for serverside scripting. 2t was written fro" the ground up
and is not bac#ward co"patible with classic ASP.
ASP.NET is the "a3or part of the !icrosoft's .NET 4ra"ewor#.
What is ASP.NET?
ASP.NET is a server side scripting technology that enables scripts .e"bedded in web pages/ to be
executed by an 2nternet server.
ASP.NET is a !icrosoft Technology
ASP stands for Active Server Pages
ASP.NET is a progra" that runs inside 22S
22S .2nternet 2nfor"ation Services/ is !icrosoft's 2nternet server
22S co"es as a free co"ponent with $indows servers
22S is also a part of $indows 5111 and +P Professional
$hat is an ASP.NET 4ile6
An ASP.NET file is 3ust the sa"e as an )T!* file
An ASP.NET file can contain )T!*, +!*, and scripts
Scripts in an ASP.NET file are executed on the server
An ASP.NET file has the file extension 7.aspx7
)ow 8oes ASP.NET $or#6
$hen a browser re9uests an )T!* file, the server returns the file
$hen a browser re9uests an ASP.NET file, 22S passes the re9uest to the ASP.NET engine on the
server
The ASP.NET engine reads the file, line by line, and executes the scripts in the file
4inally, the ASP.NET file is returned to the browser as plain )T!*
What is ASP+?
ASP: is the sa"e as ASP.NET.
ASP: is 3ust an early na"e used by !icrosoft when they developed ASP.NET.

ASP.NET 2.0
ASP.NET 5.1 i"proves upon ASP.NET by adding support for several new features.
%ou can read "ore about the differences between ASP.NET 5.1 and ASP.NET in the next chapter of this
tutorial.
ASP.NET '.0
ASP.NET 0.1 is not a new version of ASP.NET. 2t's 3ust the na"e for a new ASP.NET 5.1 fra"ewor# library
with support for $indows Presentation 4oundation, $indows <o""unication 4oundation, $indows
$or#flow 4oundation? and $indows <ardSpace.
ASP.NET 0.1 is not covered in this tutorial.
ASP.NET )s. ASP

ASP.NET has better language support, a large set of new controls, +!*based co"ponents, and better user
authentication.
ASP.NET provides increased perfor"ance by running co"piled code.
ASP.NET code is not fully bac#ward co"patible with ASP.
New in ASP.NET
'etter language support
Progra""able controls
Eventdriven progra""ing
2
+!*based co"ponents
@ser authentication, with accounts and roles
)igher scalability
2ncreased perfor"ance <o"piled code
Easier configuration and deploy"ent
Not fully ASP co"patible
*anguage Support
ASP.NET uses A*O.NET.
ASP.NET supports full -isual 'asic, not -'Script.
ASP.NET supports <= .< sharp/ and <::.
ASP.NET supports ,Script.
ASP.NET <ontrols
ASP.NET contains a large set of )T!* controls. Al"ost all )T!* ele"ents on a page can be
defined as ASP.NET control ob3ects that can be controlled by scripts.
ASP.NET also contains a new set of ob3ectoriented input controls, li#e progra""able listboxes
and validation controls.
A new data grid control supports sorting, data paging, and everything you can expect fro" a
dataset control.
Event Aware <ontrols
All ASP.NET ob3ects on a $eb page can expose events that can be processed by ASP.NET code.
*oad, <lic# and <hange events handled by code "a#es coding "uch si"pler and "uch better
organiAed.
ASP.NET Co#(onents
ASP.NET co"ponents are heavily based on +!*. *i#e the new A8 ;otator, that uses +!* to store
advertise"ent infor"ation and configuration.
+ser Authentication
ASP.NET supports for"based user authentication, coo#ie "anage"ent, and auto"atic redirecting of
unauthoriAed logins.
+ser Accounts and ,oles
ASP.NET allows user accounts and roles, to give each user .with a given role/ access to different server
code and executables.
-i.h Scala/ilit%
!uch has been done with ASP.NET to provide greater scalability.
Servertoserver co""unication has been greatly enhanced, "a#ing it possible to scale an application over
several servers. Bne exa"ple of this is the ability to run +!* parsers, +S* transfor"ations and even
resource hungry session ob3ects on other servers.
Co#(iled Code
The first re9uest for an ASP.NET page on the server will co"pile the ASP.NET code and #eep a cached
copy in "e"ory. The result of this is greatly increased perfor"ance.
Eas% Con!i.uration
<onfiguration of ASP.NET is done with plain text files.
<onfiguration files can be uploaded or changed while the application is running. No need to restart the
server. No "ore "etabase or registry puAAle.
Eas% *e(lo%#ent
No "ore serverrestart to deploy or replace co"piled code. ASP.NET si"ply redirects all new re9uests to
the new code.
Co#(ati/ilit%
ASP.NET is not fully co"patible with earlier versions of ASP, so "ost of the old ASP code will need so"e
changes to run under ASP.NET.
To overco"e this proble", ASP.NET uses a new file extension 7.aspx7. This will "a#e ASP.NET applications
able to run side by side with standard ASP applications on the sa"e server.

ASP.NET Installin.

ASP.NET is easy to install. ,ust follow the instructions below.
What 0ou Need
A Windows Co#(uter
ASP.NET is a !icrosoft technology. To run ASP.NET you need a co"puter capable of running $indows.
$indows 5111 or +P
2f you are serious about developing ASP.NET applications you should install $indows 5111 Professional or
$indows +P Professional.
2n both cases, "a#e sure you install the 2nternet 2nfor"ation Services .22S/ fro" the Add>;e"ove $indows
co"ponents dialog.
Ser)ice Pac$s and +(dates
'efore ASP.NET can be installed on your co"puter, it is necessary to have all relevant service pac#s and
security updates installed.
The easiest way to do this is to activate your $indows 2nternet @pdate. $hen you access the $indows
@pdate page, you will be instructed to install the latest service pac#s and all critical security updates. 4or
$indows 5111, "a#e sure you install Service Pac# 5. 2 will also reco""end that you install 2nternet Explorer
C.
,e#o)e 0our 1eta 2ersion
2f you have a 'eta version of ASP.NET installed, we reco""end that you co"pletely uninstall it. Br even
better( start with a fresh $indows 5111 or +P installation.
Install .NET
4ro" your $indows @pdate you can now select to install the !icrosoft .NET 4ra"ewor#.
After download, the .NET fra"ewor# will install itself on your co"puter there are no options to select for
installation.
%ou should now be ready to develop your first ASP.NET applicationD
The .NET So!tware *e)elo(#ent 3it
2f you have the necessary bandwidth to download over E01 !', you "ight consider downloading the full
!icrosoft .NET Software 8evelop"ent &it .S8&/.
$e fully reco""end getting the S8& for learning "ore about .NET and for the docu"entation, sa"ples, and
tools included.
Connection S(eed and *ownload Ti#e
2f you have a slow 2nternet connection, you "ight have proble"s downloading large files li#e the service
pac#s, the S8& and the latest version of 2nternet Explorer.
2f download speed is a proble", our best suggestion is to get the latest files fro" so"eone else, fro" a
colleague, fro" a friend, or fro" one of the <8s that co"es with "any popular co"puter "agaAines. *oo#
for $indows 5111 Service Pac# 5, 2nternet Explorer C, and the !icrosoft .NET 4ra"ewor#.
ASP.NET - We/ Pa.es

A si"ple ASP.NET page loo#s 3ust li#e an ordinary )T!* page.
To start learning ASP.NET, we will construct a very si"ple )T!* page that will display 7)ello $0Schools7 in
an 2nternet browser li#e this()ello $0SchoolsD

The si"plest way to convert an )T!* page into an ASP.NET page is to copy the )T!* file to a new file with
an .aspx extension.

4unda"entally an ASP.NET page is 3ust the sa"e as an )T!* page.
An )T!* page has the extension .ht". 2f a browser re9uests an )T!* page fro" the server, the server
sends the page to the browser without any "odifications.
An ASP.NET page has the extension .aspx. 2f a browser re9uests an ASP.NET page, the server processes
any executable code in the page, before the result is sent bac# to the browser.
The ASP.NET page above does not contain any executable code, so nothing is executed. 2n the next
exa"ples we will add so"e executable code to the page to de"onstrate the difference between static )T!*
pages and dyna"ic ASP pages.
Classic ASP
Active Server Pages .ASP/ has been around for several years. $ith ASP, executable code can be placed
inside )T!* pages.
Previous versions of ASP .before ASP .NET/ are often called <lassic ASP.
ASP.NET is not fully co"patible with <lassic ASP, but "ost <lassic ASP pages will wor# fine as ASP.NET
pages, with only "inor changes.
2f you want to learn "ore about <lassic ASP, please visit our ASP Tutorial.
*%na#ic Pa.e in Classic ASP
To de"onstrate how ASP can display pages with dyna"ic content, we have added so"e executable code

ASP.NET )s Classic ASP
The previous exa"ples didn't de"onstrate any differences between ASP.NET and <lassic ASP.
As you can see fro" the two latest exa"ples there are no differences between the two ASP and ASP.NET
pages.
2n the next chapters you will see how server controls "a#e ASP.NET "ore powerful than <lassic ASP.
ASP.NET - Ser)er Controls

Server controls are tags that are understood by the server.

The code above illustrates a li"itation in <lassic ASP( The code bloc# has to be placed where you want the
output to appear.
$ith <lassic ASP it is i"possible to separate executable code fro" the )T!* itself. This "a#es the page
difficult to read, and difficult to "aintain.
ASP.NET - Ser)er Controls
ASP.NET has solved the 7spaghetticode7 proble" described above with server controls.
Server controls are tags that are understood by the server.
There are three $inds o! ser)er controls&
)T!* Server <ontrols Traditional )T!* tags
$eb Server <ontrols New ASP.NET tags
-alidation Server <ontrols 4or input validation
ASP.NET - -T5 Ser)er Controls
)T!* server controls are )T!* tags understood by the server.
)T!* ele"ents in ASP.NET files are, by default, treated as text. To "a#e these ele"ents progra""able,
add a runatH7server7 attribute to the )T!* ele"ent. This attribute indicates that the ele"ent should be
treated as a server control. The id attribute is added to identify the server control. The id reference can be
used to "anipulate the server control at run ti"e.
Note: All HTML server controls must be within a <form> tag with the runat="server" attribute. The
runat="server" attribute inicates that the form shoul be !rocesse on the server. "t also inicates that the
enclose controls can be accesse b# server scri!ts.
2n the following exa"ple we declare an )t"lAnchor server control in an .aspx file. Then we "anipulate the
);ef attribute of the )t"lAnchor control in an event handler .an event handler is a subroutine that executes
6
code for a given event/. The PageJ*oad event is one of "any events that ASP.NET understands(Fscript

ASP.NET $eb Server <ontrols
$eb server controls are special ASP.NET tags understood by the server.
*i#e )T!* server controls, $eb server controls are also created on the server and they re9uire a
runatH7server7 attribute to wor#. )owever, $eb server controls do not necessarily "ap to any existing )T!*
ele"ents and they "ay represent "ore co"plex ele"ents.
The syntax for creating a $eb server control is(Fasp(controlJna"e idH7so"eJid7 runatH7server7 >G
2n the following exa"ple we declare a 'utton server control in an .aspx file. Then we create an event

ASP.NET - 2alidation Ser)er Controls
-alidation server controls are used to validate userinput. 2f the userinput does not pass validation, it will
display an error "essage to the user.
Each validation control perfor"s a specific type of validation .li#e validating against a specific value or a
range of values/.
'y default, page validation is perfor"ed when a 'utton, 2"age'utton, or *in#'utton control is clic#ed. %ou
can prevent validation when a button control is clic#ed by setting the <auses-alidation property to false.
The syntax for creating a -alidation server control is(Fasp(controlJna"e idH7so"eJid7 runatH7server7 >G
2n the following exa"ple we declare one Text'ox control, one 'utton control, and one ;ange-alidator

$hen a for" is sub"itted in ASP .NET, the for" reappears in the browser window together with all for"
values. )ow co"e6 This is because ASP .NET "aintains your -iewState. The -iewState indicates the

ASP.NET 2.0 - New "eatures
ASP.NET 5.1 i"proves ASP.NET by adding several new features.
I#(ro)e#ents in ASP.NET 2.0
ASP.NET 5.1 was designed to "a#e web develop"ent easier and 9uic#er.
*esi.n .oals !or ASP.NET 2.0&
2ncrease productivity by re"oving N1I of the code
@se the sa"e controls for all types of devices
Provide a faster and better web server platfor"
Si"plify co"pilation and installation
Si"plify the ad"inistration of web applications
WhatCs New in ASP.NET 2.0?
So"e of the new features in ASP.NET 5.1 are(
!aster Pages, The"es, and $eb Parts
Standard controls for navigation
Standard controls for security
;oles, personaliAation, and internationaliAation services

2"proved co"pilation and deploy"ent .installation/
2"proved site "anage"ent
New and i"proved develop"ent tools
The new features are described below.
aster Pa.es
ASP.NET didn't have a "ethod for applying a consistent loo# and feel for a whole web site.
!aster pages in ASP.NET 5.1 solves this proble".
A "aster page is a te"plate for other pages, with shared layout and functionality. The "aster page defines
placeholders for content pages. The result page is a co"bination ."erge/ of the "aster page and the
content page.
;ead "ore about "aster pages.
The"es
33
The"es is another feature of ASP.NET 5.1. The"es, or s#ins, allow developers to create a custo"iAed loo#
for web applications.
8esign goals for ASP.NET 5.1 the"es(
!a#e it si"ple to custo"iAe the appearance of a site
Allow the"es to be applied to controls, pages, and entire sites
Allow all visual ele"ents to be custo"iAed
We/ Parts
ASP.NET 5.1 $eb Parts can provide a consistent loo# for a site, while still allowing user custo"iAation of
style and content.
New controls(

$eb part controls content areas for each Aone
Navigation
ASP.NET 5.1 has builtin navigation controls li#e
Site !aps
8yna"ic )T!* "enus
Tree -iews
Securit%
Security is very i"portant for protecting confidential and personal infor"ation.
In ASP.NET 2.0 the !ollowin. controls has /een added&
A *ogin control, which provides login functionality
A *oginStatus control, to control the login status
A *oginNa"e control to display the current user na"e

A Password;ecovery control, to provide the 72 forgot "y password7 functionality
,oles and Personali;ation
2nternet co""unities are growing very popular.
ASP.NET 5.1 has personaliAation features for storing user details. This provides an easy way to custo"iAe
user .and user group/ properties.
Internationali;ation
;eaching people with different languages is i"portant if you want to reach a larger audience.
ASP.NET 5.1 has i"proved support for "ultiple languages.
*ata Access
!any web sites are data driven, using databases or +!* files as data sources.
$ith ASP.NET this involved code, and often the sa"e code had to be used over and over in
different web pages.
A #ey goal of ASP.NET 5.1 was to ease the use of data sources.
ASP.NET 5.1 has new data controls, re"oving "uch of the need for progra""ing and indepth
#nowledge of data connections.
o/ilit% Su((ort
The proble" with !obile devices is screen siAe and display capabilities.
2n ASP.NET, the !icrosoft !obile 2nternet Tool#it .!!2T/ provided this support.
2n ASP.NET 5.1, !!2T is no longer needed because "obile support is built into all controls.
2"ages
ASP.NET 2.0 has new controls !or handlin. i#a.es&
The 2"age!ap control i"age "ap support

run, including support for $S8*, and +S8 files.
<o"piled 8eploy"ent .2nstallation/ and Source Protection
ASP.NET 5.1 also provides preco"pilation. An entire web site can be preco"piled. This provides
an easy way to deploy .upload to a server/ co"piled applications, and because only co"piled files
are deployed, the source code is protected.
