ASP.NET Advantages
ASP.NET Is Integrated with the .NET Framework
The massive collection of functionality that the .NET Framework provides is organized in a way that traditional Windows programmers will see as a happy improvement. Each one of the thousands of classes in the .NET Framework is grouped into a logical, hierarchical container called a namespace. Different namespaces provide different features. Taken together, the .NET namespaces offer functionality for nearly every aspect of distributed development from message queuing to security. This massive toolkit is called the class library.
ASP.NET Is Compiled, Not Interpreted
One of the major reasons for performance degradation in classic ASP pages is its use of interpreted script code. Every time an ASP page is executed, a scripting host on the web server needs to interpret the script code and translate it to lower-level machine code, line by line. This process is visibly slow.
ASP.NET applications are always compiled - in fact, it’s impossible to execute C# or Visual Basic code without it being compiled first.
ASP.NET Is Multilanguage
With ASP.NET there is no matter what language you use to develop your application, as the code is compiled in IL (Intermediate Languge).
IL is a stepping stone for every managed application. (A managed application is any application that’s written for .NET and executes inside the managed environment of the CLR.) In a sense, IL is the language of .NET, and it’s the only language that the CLR recognizes.
ASP.NET Is Hosted by the Common Language Runtime
Perhaps the most important aspect of the ASP.NET engine is that it runs inside the runtime environment of the CLR. The whole of the .NET Framework - that is, all namespaces, applications, and classes - is referred to as managed code.
ASP.NET Is Object-Oriented
Asp provides a relatively feeble object model, On the other hand Asp.net is truly object oriented.
Not only does your code have full access to all objects in the .NET Framework, but you can also exploit all the conventions of an OOP (object-oriented programming) environment. For example, you can create reusable classes, standardize code with interfaces, extend existing classes with inheritance, and bundle useful functionality in a distributable, compiled component.
ASP.NET Is Multi-device and Multi-browser
One of the greatest challenges web developers face is the wide variety of browsers they need to support. Different browsers, versions, and configurations differ in their support of HTML. Web developers need to choose whether they should render their content according to HTML 3.2, HTML 4.0, or something else entirely.
ASP.NET addresses this problem in a remarkably intelligent way. Although you can retrieve information about the client browser and its capabilities in an ASP. NET page.
For example: ASP.NET’s validation controls, which use JavaScript and DHTML (Dynamic HTML) to enhance their behavior if the client supports it. This allows the validation controls to show dynamic error messages without the user needing to send the page back to the server for more processing.
ASP.NET Is Easy to Deploy and Configure
ASP.NET simplifies deployment process as :- Every installation of the .NET Framework provides the same core classes. As a result, deploying an ASP.NET application is relatively simple. For no-frills deployment, you simply need to copy all the files to a virtual directory on a production server (using an FTP program or even a command-line command like XCOPY). As long as the host machine has the .NET Framework, there are no time consuming registration steps.
