ASP. NET

Next, I will introduce some important new features in ASP. NET and some other. NET Framework technologies.

Step 1: download and install the. NET SDK

ASP. NET is provided as part of the. net sdk. It is a collection of all technologies required to create, generate, and test. NET Framework-based applications. To Download and install the. net sdk, go to the MSDN Online. NET Developer Center in English) and click "Download the. NET Framework SDK Beta 1 ". The downloaded content is about 90 MB. However, there is an option to split the SDK into a series of small files for download.

Before installing ASP. NET, you need to install Internet Explorer 5.5. You can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.htmenglish.

Note: The SDK technology preview version only supports Windows 5.0 Server installed with Internet Information Services (IIS) 2000, while Beta 1 supports Windows NT 4.0 and IIS 4.0.

Step 2: Install the. NET Framework

If you have installed the SDK, you should also install the Quick Start example of. NET Framework. The Quick Start examples in the. net sdk include detailed examples of various ASP. NET features and other. NET technologies.

To install Quick Start example:

Open the SDK Overview Link (. NET Framework SDK Overview), which has been added to your desktop during SDK installation.

Open the HTML page and click the. NET Framework Samples link.

Follow the installation steps to install the example.

After the installation is complete, you can access the example at http: // localhost/quickstart/default.htm.

Finally, when browsing the default document, you can select the ASP. NET link at the top of the page. This link contains a list of ASP. NET examples.

Step 3: add to ASPNG discussion list

As one of the leader in the ever-expanding ASP. NET community, Charles Carroll has been dedicated to holding the list of ASP. NET discussions based on email. In fact, from the first day of the Professional Development Conference (PDC) in early July, this discussion list has been present.

This discussion list is the best choice for learning and releasing increasingly rich ASP. NET developers' knowledge. Charles checks and filters all messages to ensure that published articles are related to this list, so that the discussion is not separated from the topic.

In addition to the Community list, the Microsoft. NET Framework Team also regularly participates in discussions and releases sample code. Recently Scott Guthrie released an ASP. NET example of dynamically generated images.

To join the discussion list, visit http://www.asplists.com/asplists/aspng.aspenglish ). On this page, you can find the complete list of email discussions for different topics related to ASP. NET. The most active list is ASPNGBeta. We recommend that you join this list. Select ASPNGBeta from the list. You can also directly access http://www.asplists.com/asplists/aspngbeta.aspenglish) and select the option for receiving email distribution.

Step 4 of ASP. NET: FAQs

If I install the SDK and use ASP. NET, will the existing ASP application be interrupted?

No. ASP. NET applications and existing ASP applications can run simultaneously.

The file extension used by ASP is as follows. asp and. asa) and ASP.. NET file extensions such. aspx ,. asax ,. ascx ,. asmx and so on) are completely independent and will not replace each other. In addition, ASP. NET applications are processed by an independent ISAPI extension.

Note: Although ASP and ASP. NET applications can run simultaneously, they cannot share application information even in the same directory. For example, the setting in global. asa does not affect ASP. NET applications, and the setting in global. asax does not affect ASP applications. Similarly, the application and session status information are not shared. A user in an ASP application cannot use the session data added to the same user in an ASP. NET application unless the user is re-created.

Do I need to use Visual Studio or other tools to create an ASP. NET page?

No. Although Visual Studio. NET provides an amazing design, encoding, and debugging environment, it is not required to create an ASP. NET application. ASP. NET follows the same "just save" design principle as ASP: any text-based editing program can be used to create an ASP. NET application. When you access the ASP. NET page for the first time, the page is automatically compiled, and future requests will access compiled resources.

Can ASP. NET run on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me?

No. You can use one of these platforms for development, but ASP. NET applications must run on Web servers, Windows 2000 with IIS installed, or Windows NT 4.0.

Step 5 of ASP. NET: Learn More

In this step, I will try to summarize some important resources for online, printing and activities. If new messages are received, I will continue to add new resources and activities.

IBuySpy Microsoft ASP. NET Sample Application

IBuySpy is a fully functional e-commerce application that describes how to use ASP. NET to create high-performance, scalable Web applications. You can browse the sample application online, including the complete source code and documentation), or download the complete C # Or Visual Basic. NET version of the application.

ASP. NET host service

Brinkster Inc. English) is the largest free ASP Web hosting service provider. It provides free ASP. NET host services. Each member can obtain 5 MB space for testing and learning ASP. NET. The member identities used for testing and learning give developers the opportunity to understand this new technology. Brinkster has provided free ASP host service for more than a year, leading the ASP/ASP. NET host service market.

Community Site and distribution list

ASP. the. NET community includes people, activities, discussion lists, news groups, and so on. It is not only one of the best occasions to get answers or solve problems, some sites provide online Quick Start examples, which means you can try ASP. NET without installing it.

Is one of the more comprehensive ASP. NET community site, managed by Steve Schofield. You can find more than a dozen articles on ASP. NET and examples of online ASP. NET quick start. If you cannot install NET. SDK, this is a good choice for learning ASP. NET. As A reward, you can also get the online version of chapter A Preview of ASP. NET published by Wrox Press.

Http://www.aspng.com English) is another comprehensive ASP. NET site. ASPNG includes links to the ASP. NET class uploaded by Charles Carroll and ASP. NET Workshop uploaded by Stephen Walther. Finally, ASPNG includes an active email discussion list. For more information, see http://www.asplists.com in English ).

Several ASP. NET-related articles, as well as Web-based ASP. NET forums organized by clues.

Wrox Press online magazine has 10 articles on ASP. NET, ranging from ADO + to generating server controls.

4. GuysFromRolla includes some articles and other related resources. This article covers the overview of ADO + and ASP. NET.

Finally, devx.com contains a comprehensive list of ASP. NET Resources and available. NET resources. From books, websites, and activities, you can find things you are interested in.

Books

There are currently three books on. NET:

Presenting C # summarizes one of the multiple languages supported by the new language C # ASP. NET ). If you want to quickly and easily understand C #, you may need this book.

A Preview of ASP + covers various content, including Web services, data, and controls, from brief introduction to ASP. NET to creation of ASP. NET pages. It also involves topics such as transferring from ASP to ASP. NET, ASP. NET object models, and how to use COM components in. NET. This book was available before Beta 1.
