Classic ASP has nothing with ASP.NET

You programmed with VBScript, right? So you'll have to begin from zero.

But it is worth! ASP.NET is much more powerful than ASP, the letter is dead.

 

asp.net is more powerful than asp. .NET is a new techonology than older asp. We can use many CLR Languages like C#, vb.net , VC++ in asp.net. It is very user friendly and highly scurable.

 

I think asp.net is more object-oriented concept than asp.

 

Yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with some of you on that.

While the tool (asp.net) may be more versatile than classic asp, I believe the power actually lies in the hands and mind of the person who is wielding the tool.

I've seen some amazing applications written in classic asp, which continue to power intranets and websites around the world.

Conversely, I've seen some total garbage produced with .Net tech. Really. Some real crap.

Just because you have the latest tool, which may be the "best", doesn't mean instantly that you are going to write the best code and best apps.

Choose the best tool for the project at hand, not the best tool for all projects.

 

Asp.Net has almost nothing to do with old Asp.
asp is a scripting language where you mix script code inside an html in .aps files.
Asp.Net is a full featured development environment (using Visual Studio IDE makes it much easier to work with).
Some of the advantages of Asp.Net:

• Real Compiler vs Script language
• .Net libraries help you to do almost anything
• Large number of server controls - including data-binding, grids, etc.
• Page state is stored automatically between posts
• Can you AJAX library to do some cool client side tricks
• Much more

Hope this helps

 

it's faster, faster, faster - but more formal so you need a more structured development approach.

 

Many functions used in VBScript are still available in .NET... also things such as conditional statements and loops are the same... The Response, Request, Server and Session objects are also the same, or similar. So to say that it would be to begin from zero is not really correct at all. Knowledge of ASP will definately give you an advantage when learning ASP.NET.

 

ASP.NET is mostly a superset of ASP. When I transitioned a website from ASP to ASP.NET, most of my ASP code ran fine in ASP.NET with little modifications. I was even able to set up some of my #include files with .inc extensions that could be used with either ASP or ASP.NET.

One of the big advantages to me with ASP.NET is that it has much stronger session and application scope support than ASP. Read up on the advantages of ASP.NET's global.asax file.

 

To iterate on this roughly.
ASP is to VBscript as PHP is to Javascript.

Well ASP.net is a core language of the .net suite, ".net" describes more of what you're saying as the web application could be written in asp.net, c#.net etc etc etc.

 

AS.Net makes it very quick to write web applications. There a ton of controls and the .Net framework has a lot of functionality built in. Just a few of the features of ASP.NET include

1. Master pages and themes
2. Built in membership/user functionality with profiles
3. Drag and drop controls - Gridview, log in controls , repeater controls, calendar etc.
4. Built in AJAX functionality . Just drag and drop AJAX panel
5. Event driven programming / VB style
6. The ASP.NET framework hides a lot of complexity , and delivers a "desktop" like programming interface for the developer
