Asp And Asp.net

ummm Asp.net was based on asp classic and does share the same or very similar syntax for minor things like:sql statementsserver variablesquery stringsincludesetcBut even though they have some similarities here and there they are completely different technologies, rather then asp.net being an expansion on asp. Infact the two are so different that asp.net had to have a new format (*.aspx) so the two could run side by side on the same server.New things asp.net brings to the table:Asp.net has a new syntax; It is most commonly done in vb.net rather then vbscriptAsp.net has greater language flexibility and can be done with C# J# jscript.net c++.net and moreAsp.net has its own set of elements (<asp:label, <asp:textbox, <asp:button, etc)Asp.net has new methods for passing variables such as cacheing and viewstateAsp.net is fully object orientedAsp.net is compiled at application start for greater performanceThose are some of the most glaring differences in the code. There are plenty of differences between the two as far as how they run, but the focus of this was more on the code.wht u guys think?

thanks for share....i want to ask for is the tools in asp.net(connect to DB) works???i have try it myself but it dosen't work...is it support MySQL...if yes...can posting the code to me???

asp is fine. im just wondering why such are called ".net". .net is a high level of tech, not just this asps.

Yes, I think .NET is fantastic but the requirement is too high. You need .NET Framework to run it.

anyone who wanted to use mysql in .net environment, should go mysql web site and download mysql odbc driver, then, use odbc* objects to get connection to mysql server.

Asp and Asp.net are two completely different things.Asp....Server Side Scripting Language.Asp.net.....a way to interact with the .net framework, using one of Microsoft's various programming languages.Strongly advice anyone that want to do web development, to stay away from .net. Believe me mate. For desktop applications .net is great....but for the web? Huh uh. Unless you are a skilled professional software engineer with an in-depth knowledge of OOP, the .net framework, web technologies...sure, go ahead. But in my opinion that's like a fighter pilot that have to fly commercial jets...If you want to do web development, get the skills you need for just that. x/html....css....server-side scription ( you can stay with asp if you want, but php will give you a future!), client side scripting (Javascript)How can I say this things. Dude, I can go on for hours, but I've been a developer for like 7 years now, and even ended up in Microsoft R&D Asia where I quit the job out of boredom. Sit with a massive bad performing site written in .net......All my fault, of course. But how are one supposed to do your job and keep up with the Ms evolution?Nein, I'm turning the clock back and becomng a hardcore web developer that know xhtml, css, javascript, php, mysql.....You can get a job offer a day anywhere here (I moved to Asia) and you can create some real fast kick-@rs$ good looking web sites. Whoever want, stay on the MS train....but I guarantee you that is one evil (hell, the people cannot even make a compliant web browser!)It's never too late to convert. Confess your sins and cross over!
