Advantages of ASP.NET

ASP.NET has many advantages over other platforms when it comes to creating Web applications. Probably
the most significant advantage is its integration with the Windows server and programming tools. Web
applications created with ASP.NET are easier to create, debug, and deploy because those tasks can all be
performed within a single development environment

 

ASP.NET delivers the following other advantages to Web application developers:

• Executable portions of a Web application compiled so they execute more quickly than interpreted scripts

• On-the-fly updates of deployed Web applications without restarting the server

• Access to the .NET Framework, which simplifies many aspects of Windows programming

• Use of the widely known Visual Basic programming language, which has been enhanced to fully support
  object-oriented programming

• Introduction of the new Visual C# programming language, which provides a type-safe, object-oriented
  version of the C programming language

• Automatic state management for controls on a Web page (called server controls) so that they behave
  much more like Windows controls

• The ability to create new, customized server controls from existing controls

• Built-in security through the Windows server or through other authentication/authorization methods

• Integration with ADO.NET to provide database access and database design tools from within Visual
  Studio .NET

• Full support for Extensible Markup Language (XML), cascading style sheets (CSS), and other new
  and established Web standards

• Built-in features for caching frequently requested Web pages on the server, localizing content for specific
  languages and cultures, and detecting browser capab
