Thread: What is the difference between ASP.Net and ASP

ASP:

1) ASP is Interpreted language based on scripting languages like Jscript or
VBScript.

2) ASP has Mixed HTML and coding logic.

3) Limited development and debugging tools available.

4) Limited OOPS support.

5) Limited session and application state management.

6) Poor Error handling system.

7) No in-built support for XML.

8) No fully distributed data source support.

ASP.Net:

1) ASP.Net is supported by compiler and has compiled language support.

2) Separate code and design logic possible.

3) Variety of compilers and tools available including the Visual studio.Net.

4) Completely Object Oriented.

5) Complete session and application state management.

6) Full proof error handling possible.

7) Full XML Support for easy data exchange.

8) Fully distributed data source support

Biggest noticeable difference: ASP (Classic ASP as it is known) is a Script Language (i.e VBScript), where as ASP.NET is a the web formulation of a Compiled Language (i.e. Visual Basic, C#, J#, C++.Net)

you can easily understand with these points

ASP is procedural and scripted, ASP.Net is object-oriented and compiled.

ASP.NET uses ADO.NET.
ASP.NET supports full Visual Basic, not VB Script,C# and C++, JavaScript.
ASP.NET has better language that support large set of new controls, better user authentication and xml-based components.

where ASP support HTML/ XHTML tags and scripting language like JavaScript or VB Script.

as we all know asp came with earlier version of visual stdio. it improved day by day. but there is a lot of disputes or u can say that some thing is more require according to requirement then it (ASP) introduced Ado .net is called ASP .net.

ASP.NET is compiled common language runtime code running on the server.While in ASP its interpreted by script engine.

ASP.net is definitely much more dynamic. I feel like no one uses ASP that much anymore and ASP.Net is much more widely used because of the object integration.

ASP and ASP.net both use for Creating Dynamic webpage.
ASP is a Script Language (VB Script)and ASP.NET is a Compiled Language (Visual Basic, C#, J#, C++.Net).
