| | h6. What is ASP.NET? |
| | |
| | * ASP.NET applications are server-side applications that render HTML to a web page. |
| | * ASP.NET apps are created by defining .aspx files and associated .cs or .vb files and compiling them into a set of .DLLs (called an assembly) that run on an ASP.NET-capable server. |
| | * Application logic, GUI layout, and behavior are defined on the server. |
| | * ASP.NET provides a default implementation of the HTML and Javascript needed to create the web browser interface. |
| | | * The assemblies are execute when a client browser accesses the web server, and receives output in the form of HTML/Javascript/CSS. |
| | | * The assemblies execute when a client browser accesses the web server, and receives output in the form of HTML/Javascript/CSS. |
| | * ASP.NET applications are deployed as "assemblies" on an ASP.NET-capable server such as IIS running on the Windows operating system. |
| | * You can use Visual Studio to create ASP.NET applications. |
| | |
| | h2. How does it compare to Flex? |
| | |
| | * Both application logic and layout is deployed and executed on the server, instead of in a SWF file that executes on the client machine. ASP.NET essentially centralizes execution of the application on the server. |
| | * The GUI of an ASP.NET application is HTML generated by ASP.NET web form controls. |
| | * The generated HTML is styled through themes (aka "skins") using a programmatic markup language, or through CSS. |
| | * ASP.NET can talk directly with a database server, and therefore can be used to write web services. Flex can not be used to write web services, but can consume data from a web service and display it. |
