Introduction to ASP.NET MIS 324 Professor Sandvig
Outline • Why ASP.NET? • .NET Framework • ASP.NET Features • Object Oriented • Event driven • Server controls • Summary
Why ASP.NET? • Industrial Strength • Full Featured • Security, logging, performance, etc. • Highly integrated with Visual Studio • .NET aimed at corporate users • Employers of WWU graduates • Designed for large, complex projects
.NET • PHP/ASP • .NET
.NET Framework • Create both web & Windows applications • Different interface • Same plumbing • Support for many languages • VB, C#, J#, Java, C++, PERL, Python, Effiel, Cobol, .. • 15+ in development • Runs on several operating systems • Windows, Unix • Under development: Linux & FreeBSD • Mono project
.NET Framework • Two major components: • Common Language Runtime (CLR) • Manages compilation, memory, security, exceptions, garbage collection, etc. • Technical details outside scope of this class • Class Library…
.NET Class Library • Classes are pre-written code • Web server controls, access data, manipulate data, send email, etc.… • Classes are grouped into Namespaces • .NET Class Library
.NET Features • Object Oriented • Web Server Controls • Visual Studio
1. Object Oriented • Advantages: • Encapsulation • Compartmentalize functionality into classes • Messy details hidden inside the class • Need to understand only the class interface • Reusability • Build once, test, reuse many times
Object Oriented • All modern programming languages support OOP • OOP concepts & terminology are universal
2. Web Server Controls • Advantages: • Separation of code and presentation • Code provides logic & generate output • Server controls display • We write less HTML & Javascript • Data saved in viewstate • Disadvantage: • Must learn control features
2. Web Server Controls • Example: • Hello.aspx
3. Visual Studio • Integrated Development Environment • Features: • Drag & drop • Web Server Controls • IntelliSense • Syntax checking • pop-up class documentation • Debugger • Integration with Sql Server • HUGE time saver • Faster learning
Summary • ASP.NET • State-of-the-art programming technology • Tremendous functionality • Complex!! • Be prepared to work hard • Fun!!
