| Term | ASP.NET | |
| Definition | Acronym for Active Server Pages for .NET. A set of technologies in the Microsoft .NET Framework bundled as .NET classes used to create Web-based, client-side (Web Form) and server-side (XML Web Services) Web applications. On the server, ASP.NET pages are executed generating markup—e.g., HTML, WML, XML—which is then sent to a browser.
ASP.NET pages are based on a compiled, event-driven, programming model which enables the separation of application logic and user interface (Java's JavaServer Pages (JSP) MVC Model 2). The server-side logic can be written in any .NET-compatible language including Visual Basic .NET and Visual C# .NET. ASP.NET capitalizes on the features of the Common Language Runtime (CLR), e.g., inheritance, integrated security, language interoperability, type safety, and versioning. ASP.NET was derived from the Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) Web technology and adapted for use in the .NET Framework. Also called managed ASP and formerly known as ASP+, ASP.NET pages are normally created in C#, VB.NET, or another .NET language. | |
