Unlike the ASP runtime, ASP.NET uses the Common Language Runtime (CLR) provided by the .NET Framework. The CLR is the .NET runtime, which manages the execution of code. The CLR allows the objects, which are created in different languages, to interact with each other and hence removes the language barrier. CLR thus makes Web application development more efficient.

Organized, reliable and support oriented platform development languages are hard to find in the current state of the web, as more and more development tools shift towards the open source community. Which is not an overall downgrade to the software quality, but companies that need a liable software program also need a guarantee for their investments. It all comes to down to whether the company is searching for cheap and non-reliable software development tools, putting all their hopes in their development team, or if they are willing to pay that extra cost for a bulletproof program.

Using ASP.NET, a programmer can build a dynamic web site. The framework was developed by Microsoft. It uses the Common Language Runtime for writing code on any supported .NET language. Applications can be built using web form pages that are contained in “.aspx” extension files. The files have static markup language. They also define the server-side web control as well as the user side.

ASP.NET is one of those sound development tools that comes with a thorough customer support center and a liability clause that has the added benefit of securing the programming efforts of the in house development team, in the sense that the bought software can be replaced or tweaked in any way the company prefers. Customized versions for financial management for example, are available on the spot, as officials from the providing company are authorized and ready to supply all needed assistance.

The technology can provide great websites for e-commerce, social media and for any other purpose. Many companies provide their services for developing websites using such platform. The technology offers programmers better performance in comparison to the script-based technologies. It compiles the server-side code in many DDL files on the web server. Such compiling relieves the developer the need to do another compilation and offers an easy method of developing websites with scripting languages and compiled binary.

The Microsoft developing platform also offers programmers access to a complete and updated database, with thorough documentation, a lot of innovative and useful features for building dynamic web pages and applications. The.NET framework is OOP built, offering improved code management and producing faster web apps by using an optimized compiled code. Supporting more than 25 coding languages, like C++, C#, JScript and Visual Basic.NET, developers have an easier time working in a programming environment while still having access to features from other supported languages.

ASP.NET comes with the Visual Studio.NET IDE, which combines a series of powerful tools for databases, web design, debugging thus saving plenty of time for developers to focus on programming only, and not search for various third-party tools.
