⟩ What are ASP.NET Web Forms? How is this technology different than what is available though ASP (1.0-3.0)?
ASP .NET Web form is a tool used to design a web page using the drag and drop feature in VS .NET and is similar to the 'Form' tool in Visual Studio 5.0/6.0. It functions like the Form tag in classic ASP to get or post data from or to the server.
The difference between a classic ASP page and an ASP web Form is as follows:-
A classic ASP has the extension .asp.
An ASP.NET web form has the extension .aspx
-------------
A classic ASP page can be created using a Text editor or programs like DreamWeaver.
An ASP .NET web form is created in a project in the VS.NET environment.
------------
The source of a classic ASP is in VBScript or JavaScript and is visible to the end user.
The source of an ASP.NET web form is written in the code behind file ex: .cs for C# or .vb for VB.net and is invisible to the end user.
-------------
An ASP.NET Web form is Event driven.
