 .NET Framework
• The .NET framework is a software development platform
developed by Microsoft.

• .NET is a cluster of different technologies:

• .NET Languages
▫ C#.NET and Visual Basic.NET

• Common Language Runtime

▫ Executes all .NET programs
▫ Provides services like memory management, security,
garbage collection

• .NET class library

▫ Thousands of prebuilt functionalities

 .NET Framework
• ASP.NET
▫ Platform service for web applications & web services in
any .NET language

• Visual Studio .NET

▫ Optional development tool
▫ Contains rich set of productivity and debugging features

 .NET Framework Architecture

Prof. Bhumika Patel Sarvajanik College of Eng. & Tech., Surat Dotnet Technology 4
 .NET Languages
• VB.NET
▫ Improves on traditional VB
• C#.NET
▫ Modern language

• All .NET languages are compiled to the same MicroSoft Intermediate

Language (MSIL or IL).

• CLR runs IL code only.

• Other .NET languages: Jscript.NET, J#.NET

Prof. Bhumika Patel Sarvajanik College of Eng. & Tech., Surat Dotnet Technology 5
 Common Language Runtime (CLR)
• Engine that supports all .NET languages

• Services: code verification, optimization, garbage

collection

• CLR makes no distinction between .NET languages.

• All .NET languages are compiled to IL and CLR runs the IL

codes.

 ASP Vs. ASP.NET
Scripting Limitations

ASP ASP.NET

• Applications rely on VBScript, • Web pages are designed in a

suffers from a number of modern .NET language
limitations

• Need to add separate • Not a scripting language

components

 ASP Vs. ASP.NET
Deployment & Configuration

ASP ASP.NET

• Not easy to update components

• Allows websites to be
• Manually stop & restart the dynamically updated &
server, not practical on live web reconfigured
servers

Prof. Bhumika Patel Sarvajanik College of Eng. & Tech., Surat Dotnet Technology 9
 ASP Vs. ASP.NET
No application structure

ASP ASP.NET

• Code inserted directly to web

page with HTML markup • Code can be modified or reused
easily
• Code can rarely be
reused/modified

Prof. Bhumika Patel Sarvajanik College of Eng. & Tech., Surat Dotnet Technology 10
 ASP Vs. ASP.NET
State Limitations

ASP ASP.NET

• Session state is useless if

website is hosted by several • Allows state to be stored in
web servers central repository: separate
process/database that all servers
• Client might access server B can access
while its session information is
trapped on server A

Prof. Bhumika Patel Sarvajanik College of Eng. & Tech., Surat Dotnet Technology 11
 Setting up ASP.NET
• Web Server
▫ runs special software (Internet Information Services-IIS)
▫ supports FTP & HTTP access and everything that clients
expect in order to access web contents.

• When a page is tested, it is actually accessed through IIS
