A Brief Overview of ASP .NET
Gary Cornell, Jonathan Morrison · Apress eBooks · 2002
On the surface it may seem as if ASP .NET is nothing more then yet another way to serve up Web pages dynamically, but it goes far beyond what could be done with traditional ASP pages. Although ASP code will run under ASP .NET, ASP .NET is really a totally different animal that was rebuilt from the ground up. For example, ASP .NET comes with Web Form controls that promise to make browser-based delivery as easy as the original VB controls made Windows development, whether the client is a PC browser or a handheld device . ASP .NET is compiled so that it runs much faster on the server. It scales well. It can use the security model of .NET. It allows for multiple forms of authentication and much more.
