'''ASP.NET''' is the latest Web development environment from [[Microsoft]].

It brings the concept of "form", from desktop development, to the web. [[HTML]] has the FORM [[tag]], but in ASP.NET, a web page is a [[WebForm]]. Instead of justing write HTML code into the [[HTTP]] stream (like [[Common Gateway Interface|CGI]], [[Active Server Pages|ASP]] and [[PHP programming language|PHP]]), using ASP.NET you can use and create controls like Labels, TextBoxes and ListView, and add event handlers (Postbacks) to then. And instead of rendering a window in a desktop, it will generate the HTML output which will be rendered by user's browser.

The ASP.NET architecture uses the [[.NET Framework]] as infrastucure. The .NET Framework is a managed runtime environment (like [[Java platform|Java]]), providing a [[Virtual Machine]] with [[Just-in-time|JIT]] and a class library. The .NET Framework class library have a lot of classes and makes it quicker and easier to develop your applications.

Web developers using ASP.NET can use the .NET Framework to make some tasks easier e.g. uploading files via a Web page is significantly easier using ASP.NET than [[Active_Server_Pages|Classic ASP]] (the name now given to ASP pages).

Line 15:

ASP.NET 1.1 is the current version of ASP.NET. ASP.NET 2 is due for release in Q1 2005. It is expected that the latest version of [[Visual Studio]] ([[Visual Studio.NET 2005]]) will also be released at this time.
