ASP.NET and the .NET Framework

ASP.NET is part of Microsoft's overall .NET framework, which contains a vast set

of programming classes designed to satisfy any conceivable programming need. In the

following two sections, you learn how ASP.NET fits within the .NET framework, and

you learn about the languages you can use in your ASP.NET pages.

The .NET Framework Class Library

Imagine that you are Microsoft. Imagine that you have to support multiple

programming languages

—

such as Visual Basic, JScript, and C++. A great deal of the

functionality of these programming languages overlaps. For example, for each

language, you would have to include methods for accessing the file system, working

with databases, and manipulating strings.

Furthermore, these languages contain similar programming constructs. Every

language, for example, can represent loops and conditionals. Even though the syntax of

a conditional written in Visual Basic differs from the syntax of a conditional written in

C++, the programming function is the same.

Finally, most programming languages have similar variable data types. In most

languages, you have some means of representing strings and integers, for example. The

maximum and minimum size of an integer might depend on the language, but the basic

data type is the same.

Maintaining all this functionality for multiple languages requires a lot of work.

Why keep reinventing the wheel? Wouldn't it be easier to create all this functionality

once and use it for every language?

The .NET Framework Class Library does exactly that. It consists of a vast set of

classes designed to satisfy any conceivable programming need. For example, the .NET

framework contains classes for handling database access, working with the file system,

manipulating text, and generating graphics. In addition, it contains more specialized

classes for performing tasks such as working with regular expressions and handling

network protocols.

The .NET framework, furthermore, contains classes that represent all the basic

variable data types such as strings, integers, bytes, characters, and arrays.

Most importantly, for purposes of this book, the .NET Framework Class Library

contains classes for building ASP.NET pages. You need to understand, however, that
