'''ASP.NET''' is a 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 justingjust writewriting 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 handler]]s ("postbacks") to them. And instead of [[render]]ing 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 infrastructure. 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]]. Using the numerous .NET classes, can cut down on development time.
