Jason,

(1) the ASPX pages act similarly (connection speaking) to ASP pages...there
is no real "live" connection...the server code is executed and results sent
to a browser...just like ASP.  Were you looking for a different answer?

(2) No ActiveX controls will be downloaded (unless you developed a custom
ActiveX control).  The server, user, and web controls are all rendered as
HTML with javascript functionality added.  The Crystal Reports or excel
spreadsheets will be implemented as activex containers, requiring a control
to be downloaded.

(3) Similar, but not exactly.  Each ASP page is it's own class.

(4) ASP.NET can definitely make writing an application easier, but that may
not be always the case...but I think it is so far in my experience...

Thanks in advanced.

Can someone answer my questions?

The ASP.NET and ASP are the same under the following situation:

1.) Does .aspx page keep live connection to the server, or it hides the
controls value and function in the pages? 

2.) When we make a server controls on the page(runat=server), does the
client machine have to install one	(ActiveX component)? 
	 How about a third party components, (like excel sheet, crystal
report)?
	 If not, how can the browser going to display it?
	 OR the ASP.NET engine creates/ implements HTML way for you.

3.) Is ASP + IIS Application + WebClass similar to ASP.NET implementation? 
	When you make every page a class, it's the same as a set of DLL(s).

If the following assumption is right, ASP.NET is nothing but a easier way to
write a ASP Application, is it right?

Do someone answer my questions?

VBug Winter Conference 2001 

Make no mistake - there's a great learning curve 
for developers moving from COM to .NET.  So why 
would you want to be a pioneer and cross the bridges 
first?  Attend the .NET Developer's Conference 
(28th to 30th November 2001) In London and realise 
the benefits of adopting the technology early.  By 
attending you'll understand the key challenges and 
be left with a thorough understanding of the major 
.NET fundamentals.   If you're already working 
with .NET this is a must-attend event.
