1. What is ASP?
Active Server Pages (ASP), also known as Classic ASP, is a Microsoft's
server-side technology, which helps in creating dynamic and user-friendly Web
pages. It uses different scripting languages to create dynamic Web pages, which
can be run on any type of browser. The Web pages are built by using either
VBScript or JavaScript and these Web pages have access to the same services as
Windows application, including ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) for database access,
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) for e-mail, and the entire COM (Component
Object Model) structure used in the Windows environment. ASP is implemented
through a dynamic-link library (asp.dll) that is called by the IIS server when
a Web page is requested from the server.
2. What is ASP.NET?
ASP.NET is a specification developed by Microsoft to create dynamic Web
applications, Web sites, and Web services. It is a part of .NET Framework. You
can create ASP.NET applications in most of the .NET compatible languages, such
as Visual Basic, C#, and J#. The ASP.NET compiles the Web pages and provides
much better performance than scripting languages, such as VBScript. The Web
Forms support to create powerful forms-based Web pages. You can use ASP.NET Web
server controls to create interactive Web applications. With the help of Web
server controls, you can easily create a Web application.
3. What is the basic difference between ASP and ASP.NET?
The basic difference between ASP and ASP.NET is that ASP is interpreted;
whereas, ASP.NET is compiled. This implies that since ASP uses VBScript;
therefore, when an ASP page is executed, it is interpreted. On the other hand,
ASP.NET uses .NET languages, such as C# and VB.NET, which are compiled to
Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL).
