Using ASP.NET Server Controls

Overview

The long awaited Active Server Pages .NET (ASP.NET) is the replacement for the current version of ASP. This key component of the new .NET framework has the potential to save organizations time and money by allowing them to establish object-oriented frameworks for the web applications. Microsoft has done an excellent job with automating common web development tasks, but more importantly they have created a tool that gives developers the ability to handle any business problem. In this first article of my transitioning to ASP.NET series, I will give you a basic overview of ASP.NET and server controls.

Big Picture, Little Picture

The arrival of new technology can always be confusing; however, one thing remains the same throughout all languages and platforms-"Fundamentals". I'm going to approach this series by focusing on what developers need to know to get their job done. I feel that the fundamental components of ASP.NET developers need to know are server controls, data access, .NET components, .NET classes, web services, debugging, IDE, how to access legacy ActiveX functions, and application performance. So lets get started!.

    Its good that so many functionalites are added in ASP.NET, but when we see the performance of the application...is it god to use controls which run at server???

    It would have made article more intresting if it was told which controls to be used in different conditions.

    DTC 70-528 Session 7: Chapter 12

    Greenwood Village, United States

    Due to lack of interest of the 5th Monday meetup, we will continue as originally scheduled. The topic of the night will be "Chapter 12 - Creating ASP.NET Mobile Web Applications", taught by RJ Hatch. It is a fairly small chapter, so we can discuss other topics as well. Pizza and beverages will be provided on a donation basis.
