7.2 ASP.NET

Visual
Basic developers have long enjoyed the
ease of programming with forms and controls. Writing a VB form-based
application is as simple as dragging some controls onto a form and
writing some event-handling functions. This is one of the reasons VB
has attracted lots of programmers interested in speed of development.
Microsoft wisely built this feature into ASP.NET.

ASP.NET simplifies web page development with form-based programming.
In ASP.NET, these forms are called Web Forms and
are analogous to VB forms, replacing ASP pages. Similar to VB, Web
Forms programming is also event based. We don't have
to write in-line ASP scripts and rely on the top-down parsing
interpretation as in ASP programming. To match the rich set of
ActiveX controls that VB programmers love in their toolset, ASP.NET
equips ASP programmers with
server
controls. To further enhance the productivity of
developers, ASP.NET's Web Forms also allow for the
separation of the application logic and the presentation layer.

ASP.NET evolves from the ASP programming model with the following
additional benefits:

Clean separation between the application logic (server-side code) and
the presentation layer (HTML markup)no more spaghetti code

A rich set of server controls that automatically render HTML suitable
for any clients and that additionally manage their states

Enhanced session-state management

An event-based programming model on the server side, which is simpler
and more intuitive than an older script-based model like ASP

Application logic that can be written in any Microsoft .NET language
(VB, C#, Managed
C++, etc.);
application server-side code is compiled for better performance

Visual Studio .NET as a
RAD tool, which simplifies the development
process of Web Forms
