aspx_beginners thread: ASP vs ASP.Net (Whats the difference)


Message #1 by "JeC C" <jecman@o...> on Sun, 13 Jan 2002 11:06:42
Over the last 12 months I'v been working at ASP V3.0 and recently ASP.Net 

has come along



Whats the difference? How compatable are they, and am I waisting my time 

with ASP 3.0?



Thanks

ASP.NET and ASP are significantly different. The objects available in ASP

(Response, Request, etc) are still there, and mostly have the same

functionality, but there is much much more.



ASP.NET uses a different programming model. ASP scripts are run beginning to

end, whereas ASP.NET uses an object oriented and event driven model. ASP.NET

works on the basis of server controls, to which you can attach code. For

instance, in ASP you would have a form with a submit button, and you would

test if that button was pressed, and then execute some code. In ASP.NET you

attach code to the event of the user clicking the button, so ASP.NET does

all the work for you. Also instead of doing Request.Form("formvield"), you

can now do formfield.value. There are also controls to create table views

from databases and so on. This takes about 25% of the code that you had to

use in ASP.



ASP.NET is much more stable and faster than ASP. However, ASP.NET is so

huge, that going into the differences/advantages more takes a lot of time.

ASP is much smaller. Migrating your knowledge towards ASP.NET is not that

hard (MS did keep that in mind), and once you're used to it, you'll love it.

Thanks for that Info, It would most probably be worth me exploring .Net.



Just unfortunate that I just bought the Professional ASP 3.0 Book.
