Introduction

Early in 2002, Microsoft released its new platform for Internet development. Dubbed .NET, this platform included the long-awaited successor to ASP. Originally entitled ASP+, it was finally released as ASP.NET under the new naming scheme for Microsoft's Internet development products.

Compared to ASP, ASP.NET represented a leap forward both in complexity and productivity for the developer. It maintains its flexibility in the choice of language, but instead of a range of simple scripting languages, developers must choose between several full-fledged programming languages. Development in ASP.NET can require not only an understanding of HTML and Web design, but also a firm grasp on the concepts of object-oriented programming and development.

Here's a simple web page you can use to test ASP.Net
Just create a text file with the following contents:

<%@ Page LANGUAGE="JScript" SRC="helloworld.aspx.js"
INHERITS="ASPPlus.codeBehind" %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>

<TITLE>Hello World Test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY STYLE="font-size:12; font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif;">
<FORM RUNAT="server">
<P ALIGN="center"><ASP:LABEL ID="message"
RUNAT="server"></ASP:LABEL></P>

</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Save it as a .aspx file - eg test.aspx and upload it to your account. The view it with your web browser at http://www.domainname.com/test.aspx
