Basic Concept of ASP.NET development using the ASP.NET 3.5 Framework

For building attractive and effective database-driven websites, there are a couple of things needed, namely a solid and fast framework for running web pages on an extensive and rich environment to build and program web pages. With ASP.NET development using ASP.NET 3.5 framework and Visual Web Developer 2008, one could acquire both. ASP.NET 3.5 - a platform for creating interactive and dynamic web applications, together with Visual Web Developer

ASP.NET 3.5 builds on top of the popular predecessor ASP.NET 2.0, making ASP.NET development easier. While maintaining backward compatibility with websites that are built utilizing the older version, the 3.5 framework generally add plenty of new and compelling features to the mix. ASP.NET 3.5 allows accomplishing more with less code. New features such as LINQ added to the.NET framework allow access to a database with little or no handwritten code. The incorporation of Microsoft ASP.NET to the framework and Visual Web Developer means one could build fast responding web interfaces through dragging a few controls to a page and setting some properties.

Under the hood, ASP.NET development with the 3.5 framework utilizes the same run time as the version 2.0. This ascertains a huge backward compatibility with the version, meaning that ASP.NET 2.0 apps will continue to run under a new framework. The 3.5 framework expands support for the distributed mobile apps via the inclusion of the Windows Communication Foundation or WCF technology. Moreover, it adds new language features like new APIs and of course the LINQ that is based on community feedback, enhances debugging with upgraded diagnostic features and tools. ASP.NET supports client-centric AJAX development with a new client library that is known as the Microsoft AJAX Library. It supports browser-independent object-oriented and client-centric development. Other enhancements include ListView, new data control for displaying data, a new data source control and LingDataSource that exposes LINQ to web developers via ASP.NET data source control architectures. Another new tool which is the ASP.NET Merge Tool is for merging precompiled assemblies and tight incorporation with IIS 7.0 ListView.

Every time a new ASP.NET version is released, it means that a new version of the framework has been released. Still, the.NET framework comprises more than just ASP.NET. A new version of the framework typically includes features that could be divided into categories. The Framework Features Specific to ASP.NET is key to ASP.NET development such as the new Web controls. Some features of.NET 3.5 include the following:

1. Faster, smarter NGen that requires smaller working set RAM
2. Quicker garbage collection
3. ThreadPool performance enhancements
4. 64 bit client enhancements
5. Security check caching during NGen
6. Lightweight Reader/Writer Lock Classes
7. Anonymous and Named Pipes IO Classes
8. NSA Suite "B" and FIPS compliant cryptography
9. New AddIn hosting model for extensibility
10. Incorporation with Event Tracing for Windows

ASP.NET 3. 5 as well as Visual Studio 2008 delivers enhanced developer experience as well as flexibility. The new version of both adds some overdue and interesting features. With the 3.5 framework, ASP.NET has moved the ASP.NET AJAX framework from being a stand-alone extension to part of the framework. Moreover, it has rounded out the data web controls offerings with DataPager and ListView controls. ASP.NET 3.5 brings about a new functionality around web design and development that allows building standards based next generation websites much easier.

Asp.Net development has provided me great profitability as a developer. With the demand of.Net solutions, a lot of people are now looking to hire the services of a competent.Net programmer or developer.
