SEEKDOTNET and ASP.NET1.1 Hosting
|
|
What is ASP.NET?
ASP.NET is a technology for creating dynamic web pages. It is part of the Microsoft
.NET framework. You can develop applications in any .NET compatible language, including
Visual Basic .NET and C#.
|
How does ASP.NET make deployment easier?
ASP.NET simplifies installation of your application. With ASP.NET, you can deploy
an entire application as easily as an HTML page: just copy it to the server. There
is no need to register any components, and configuration settings are stored in
an XML file within the application.
ASP.NET also lets you update compiled components without restarting the web server.
With ASP.NET, you simply copy the component over the existing DLL -- ASP.NET will
automatically detect the change and start using the new code.
Finally, you do not have to migrate your existing applications to start using ASP.NET.
ASP.NET runs on IIS side-by-side with classic ASP. Your existing ASP applications
continue to be processed by ASP.DLL, while new ASP.NET pages are processed by the
new ASP.NET engine. You can migrate application by application, or single pages.

How do I know that SeekDotNet is an expert in ASP.NET Hosting?
We do not just make claims about our ability to host ASP.NET, we use ASP.NET throughout
our entire hosting infrastructure. We built our own hosting automation system and
control panel using ASP.NET technology. SeekDotNet is ASP.NET Hosting by ASP.NET
experts.
|
Does ASP.NET support new application models?
Yes. XML Web services are supported and allow applications to communicate and share
data over the Internet, regardless of operating system or programming language.
ASP.NET makes exposing and calling XML Web Services simple. Any class can be converted
into an XML Web Service with a few lines of code, and can be called by any SOAP
client. Likewise, ASP.NET makes it easy to call XML Web Services from your application.
|
How does ASP.NET enhance reliability?
ASP.NET automatically detects and recovers from errors like deadlocks and memory
leaks to ensure that your application is always available to your users.
|
Does ASP.NET improve performance and scalability?
Compiled Execution: ASP.NET is MUCH MUCH faster than classic ASP.
However, no explicit compile step is required. ASP.NET will automatically detect
any changes, dynamically compile the files if needed, and store the compiled results
to reuse for subsequent requests. Dynamic compilation ensures that your application
is always up to date, and compiled execution makes it fast.
Robust Output Caching: ASP.NET output caching can dramatically
improve the performance and scalability of your web application. When output caching
is enabled on a page, ASP.NET executes the page just once, and saves the result
in memory in addition to sending it to the user. When another user requests the
same page, ASP.NET serves the cached result from memory without re-executing the
page. Output caching is configurable, and can be used to cache individual regions
or an entire page. Output caching can dramatically improve the performance of data-driven
pages by, for example, eliminating the need to query the database on every request.

Does ASP.NET help me improve my productivity?
Easier Programming Model: ASP.NET makes developing web applications
much easier. ASP.NET server controls enable an HTML-like style of declarative programming
that lets you build dynamic web pages with much less code than with classic ASP.
Displaying data, validating user input, and uploading files are all easier. In additiona,
ASP.NET pages work in all browsers.
Programming Language Options: ASP.NET allows you to leverage your
current programming language skills. Unlike classic ASP, which supports only interpreted
VBScript and JScript, ASP.NET supports more than 25 .NET languages (including VB.NET
and C#), giving you flexibility in your choice of language.
Authoring Tools: You can develop ASP.NET applications in Notepad,
but Visual Studio .NET (VS.NET) adds the productivity of Visual Basic-style development
to web applications. You can visually design ASP.NET Web Forms using familiar drag-drop-doubleclick
techniques, and enjoy full-fledged code support including statement completion and
color-coding. VS.NET also provides integrated support for debugging and deploying
ASP.NET Web applications.
Rich Class Framework: Application features that used to be difficult
to implement, or required third-party components, can be added in a few lines of
code using the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework offers over 4000 classes that
provide rich functionality like XML, data access, file upload, regular expressions,
logging and SMTP mail, and much more!
