Difference between ASP and ASP.NET

[Guest]

Web application development in .NET with ASP.NET has evolved a great deal. The overall architecture of web applications in .Net is much more improved and robust. The enhanced features in ASP.NET make it the best available technology for web application development. The code behind the ASP.Net scripts can be in written in any .Net compliant programming language

The script (ASP.NET scripts), logic (code behind) and presentation (view) are separated from each other so they may evolve independently. There are much more server controls now available in .Net including the standard calendar and amazingly useful data grid controls. The ASP.Net web applications can now use .NET ***emblies and COM components to serve the client requests. ASP.NET pages are now compiled contrary to the ASP pages which are interpreted by the ISA server. Truly speaking, there is no comparison between ASP and ASP.NET... ASP.NET simply rules!

The most important difference between ASP and ASP.Net is that ASP uses interpreted VBScript or JScript, and ASP.net uses any .Net language (including VB.Net, C#, J#, etc.) compiled. ASP 3.0 left all its code in the front of the application.

ASP coded in interpreted VBScript and JavaScript while ASP.net coded in only .net languages such as .net, C#, J#. ASP based on limited OOPS but dependent on XML language. ASP.net mainly emphases on OOPS.

ASP code is an interpreted language that is interpreted by the script engine.To develop and debug ASP application, there are very limited tools whereas ASP.NET is a programming model that is event driven and is a compiled CLR code that will be executed on the Server.
