Webinar Series 2003

Drawbacks of ASP classic

ASP classic “bolted on” to pre-Internet technologies

ASP classic does not promote structured development

Top-down interpreted scripting, no object orientation, no type safety

Maintenance of code is expensive

Hard to promote code re-use

ASP classic requires separate language for back-end processing

10


Webinar Series 2003

Some major advantages of .NET and ASP.NET

.NET is built with the Internet in mind

Same programming model for Internet and non-Internet development

Faster development of structured, object-oriented code

Drag and drop design with code behind

ASP.NET pages are faster (often 3x or more)

Far better deployment – no locked DLLs means you can use content replication for code

Automatic support for multiple browsers

11


Webinar Series 2003

ASP.NET Server Controls

Run on server

Emit HTML for user interface

Emulate typical Visual Basic controls

Manipulated in code via properties, methods, and events

Manage their own state (unlike HTML client controls)

Drag and drop programming model

12


Webinar Series 2003

Built-in capabilities of ASP.NET

State management

Session and Application objects work on multiple servers

“Controls” on web pages manage their own state

Security

Automatic, not on each page

Fine-grained

Caching – pages and objects

13


Webinar Series 2003

Getting to ASP.NET

No easy or automatic conversion path

Hand conversion is expensive and yields inferior results

Converted pages don’t take advantage of many ASP.NET capabilities

Faster in most cases to redevelop pages

Redevelopment has one obstacle – data

Data binding works well for read-only reports

File maintenance programs take manual effort

Users never know what theywant

17


Webinar Series 2003

Application Generation Comes of Age

Application Generators Should:

Start from scratch with an application-specific data model

Create everything needed for a functional application

Generate native source code

Provide complete and well organized source code that’s easy to modify

Preserve your modifications during subsequent application regenerations
