What is Microsoft .net and ASPX?
Microsoft .net servers: asp vs
aspx - think of aspx files as the next generation of asp (active server
pages) that greatly extend the capabilities of regular HTML web pages.
Also known as ASP.NET, it is a programming framework built on the common
language runtime that can be used on an aspx hosting server to build
powerful Web applications. ASP.NET and aspx files offer several
important advantages over previous Web development models:
Enhanced
Performance: ASPX is compiled common language runtime code
running on the server. Unlike its interpreted predecessors, ASP.NET can
take advantage of early binding, just-in-time compilation, native
optimization, and caching services right out of the box. This amounts to
dramatically better performance before you ever write a line of code.
Scalability and
Availability: It has been designed with scalability in mind, with
features specifically tailored to improve performance in clustered and
multiprocessor environments. Further, processes are closely monitored
and managed by the ASP.NET runtime, so that if one misbehaves (leaks,
deadlocks), a new process can be created in its place, which helps
keep your application constantly available to handle requests.
World-Class
Tool Support: The ASPX framework is complemented by a rich
toolbox and designer in the Visual Studio integrated development
environment. WYSIWYG editing, drag-and-drop server controls, and
automatic deployment are just a few of the features this powerful tool
provides.
Power and
Flexibility: Because ASPX is based on the common language
runtime, the power and flexibility of that entire platform is available
to Web application developers. The .NET Framework class library,
Messaging, and Data Access solutions are all seamlessly accessible from
the Web. ASP.NET is also language-independent, so you can choose the
language that best applies to your application or partition your
application across many languages. Further, common language runtime
interoperability guarantees that your existing investment in COM-based
development is preserved when migrating to it.
Simplicity:
It makes it easy to perform common tasks, from simple form submission
and client authentication to deployment and site configuration. For
example, the page framework allows you to build user interfaces that
cleanly separate application logic from presentation code and to handle
events in a simple, Visual Basic - like forms processing model.
Additionally, the common language runtime simplifies development, with
managed code services such as automatic reference counting and garbage
collection.
Manageability: It employs a text-based, hierarchical configuration system, which
simplifies applying settings to your server environment and Web
applications. Because configuration information is stored as plain text,
new settings may be applied without the aid of local administration
tools. This "zero local administration" philosophy extends to deploying
ASPX Framework applications as well. A Framework application is deployed
to a server simply by copying the necessary files to the server. No
server restart is required, even to deploy or replace running
compiled code.
Customization
and Extensibility: It delivers a well-factored architecture that
allows developers to "plug-in" their code at the appropriate level. In
fact, it is possible to extend or replace any subcomponent of the
runtime with your own custom-written component. Implementing custom
authentication or state services has never been easier.
Security:
With built in Windows authentication and per-application configuration,
you can be assured that your applications are secure.
