    whats the difference between basic html and asp.net?

    Now, I have a friend that is a computer graphics designer and I asked her if she knew anyone that knew how to build a site just by typing the codes in. In my opinion that's pure genius.

    I have been building a site for the past few weeks and it's basic html. I didn't build this site by knowing codes, etc.

    I built it by designing it under the "design tab". Now, there was a few times, I had to figure out how to do something and I just used a code from what I seen on a site by typing it in the code area instead of the design area.

    Now if I can design my site by using the "design" tab instead of the "code" tab in html. I should be able to do the same in other languages such as ASP.net

    What is the big difference and can you build a site in ASP.net by using just the design tab?

    Whats the big difference between html and other languages?

    I need a lot of help. Someone help me out.

    I am going to make an assumption here. You are using a WYSIWYG editor to author static HTML sites, correct? If so, you favor the "visual" authoring process versus HTML markup.

    Visual Studio has a WYSIWYG designer too, but this is where the similarities end. You can author "static" HTML sites using ASP.NET, but it is better suited for dynamic applications.

    To exploit the power of the Microsoft .NET development platform and tools, you must code. You can use any of the .NET programming languages (i.e. Visual Basic.NET, C#, etc).

    If you have no programming background, I would suggest reading (better yet, watching) the tutorials on the ASP.NET site @ http://www.asp.net/learn/. Good luck!

    You mix two little different things.
    HTML is a markup language for just dispalying data in web browser. And ASP is a platform for building custom
    pages on the server side. It uses HTML as a displaying tool, but it can do much more, like work with database,
    process user inputs....

    In html, html controls are client side controls. Ex, all the validation are done at client side. browser itself the page will not posted to server. where as in asp.net, asp.net controls are server side controls. All the validation are done at server side. each & every control will goes to server & it will maintain a view state. Ex, a <hidden> field is maintained.

    ASP code is much more complicated in my opinion, but extremely useful. HTML can only interact with the person sitting at the computer. Server side languages like ASP.Net or PHP run on a server and can interact with databases. ASP.net code generates HTML code. You can do some work with it on the designer page, but what you can do will be limited.
