Advantages of ASP.NET over ASP:\n\nCompiled code means applications run faster with more design-time errors trapped at the development stage. \n\nSignificantly improved run-time error handling, making use of exceptions and try-catch blocks. \n\nUser-defined controls allow commonly used templates, such as menus. \n\nSimilar metaphors to Windows applications such as controls and events, which make development of rich user interfaces, previously only found on the desktop, possible. \n\nAn extensive set of controls and class libraries allows the rapid building of applications. \n\nASP.NET leverages the multi-language capabilities of the .NET CLR, allowing web pages to be coded in VB.NET, C#, J#, etc. \n\nAbility to cache the whole page or just parts of it to improve performance. \n\nAbility to use the "code-behind" development model to separate business logic from presentation. \n\nIf an ASP.NET application leaks memory, the ASP.NET runtime unloads the AppDomain hosting the erring application and reloads the application in a new AppDomain. \n\nSession state in ASP.NET can be saved in a SQL Server database or in a separate process running on the same machine as the web server or on a different machine. \n\nThat way session values are not lost when the web server is reset or the ASP.NET worker process is recycled. \n\n\nDisadvantages to other platforms:\n\nThe server framework runs natively on Microsoft IIS 5.0 or higher and Cassini, a web server developed in .NET (shipped with WebMatrix, a free ASP.NET 1.1 development environment, and Visual Studio 2005); however it can run on Linux on any of the alternative frameworks based on the ECMA standard. The most well known one is Mono Project, a free/opensource framework. \n\nPrevious versions of ASP.NET (1.0 and 1.1) were criticized for their lack of standards compliance. The generated HTML and JavaScript sent to the client browser would not always validate against W3C/ECMA standards. In addition, the framework's browser detection feature sometimes incorrectly identified web browsers other than Microsoft's own Internet Explorer as "downlevel" and returned HTML/JavaScript to these clients that was crippled or broken. However, in version 2.0, all controls generate valid HTML 4.0, XHTML 1.0 (the default), or XHTML 1.1 output, depending on the site configuration, detection of standards-compliant web browsers is more robust, and support for Cascading Style Sheets is more extensive. \n\nWhile ASP.NET 2.0 now produces markup that passes validation, it is debatable as to whether it increases accessibility (one of the benefits of a semantic xhtml page + css representation). Several controls (Login controls in particular, but also the new Wizard Server Control) use html tables to layout components which can confuse screen readers. Extensive use is also made of "inline" css rules (e.g. in the Calendar Server Control) which makes it impossible to fully separate content and styling.\n\n\n\nAlso check out:\nhttp://www.asp.net/whitepaper/whyaspnet.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1

while i'm also bringing this to a vote, i'd like to add this link, i found it very useful. As a vb.net software developer, i'll save it and use it meself when the time comes\n\nhttp://helpnet.installshield.com/Robo/BIN/Robo.dll?mgr=agm&tpc=%2Frobo%2Fprojects%2Finstallshield11helplib%2FNETRuntime_Adding.htm&wnd=InstallShieldLivingHelp%7CMain&agt=wsm&ctxid=kb%2Fview.asp\n\nR3dm0

in my opinion , the best way to start is to download .net starter kits from Microsoft . these starter kits are excellent examples of correctly written projects :\n\nhttp://www.asp.net/default.aspx?tabindex=5&tabid=41

In C# you do not do inline assembler as C++ allows.\n\nYou can write dll very easily to be used as an assembly.\n\nC# is easier than C++ and C.  \n\nC is considered and unstructured language while C++ and C# are structured languages.\n\nC# introduced several features that handle a lot of work you'd have to do yourself in C++ and especially C.\n\nYou can use the GC, garbage disposal to handle memory management for you in C#.  If you ever had to do memory managementin C or C++ you know how time consuming and error prone the can be.\n\nC and C++ use headers where C# have a using to define the namespace of the classes that'll do that brunt work C and C++ has to do themselves such as Structure definitions, etc.\n\nC# has built in exception handling like Java only you are not required to throw e like in Java.\n\nC# offers properties to classes unlike Java.  This allows a class designer greater access control without decreasing functionality for a caller to use.\n\nC# work s for stricky win32 to .NET platform targeting.\n\nC# give you the power of C++ or aboubt 95% of it and the ease of VB and in targeting the .NET, you may find C# much easier for more advanced functions and dll calls.\n\nThe C# compiler will assign defaults to your variables referrence or pointer = null, and value = 0.  In C and C++ if you forget to init something that must be, like when using hooks, it'll compile and throw run time.  \n\nC# shelters you from tedious tasks like that and more.\n\nThere are great simularities between C# and C++, but C++ is the one with greater horsepower.\n\nC# contains a library than easily lets you go from web to net to desktop and back.  You can create a great smart clinet using VWD and C#.  So you can create classes that will port from your aps.net to your winforms apps with out re coding for the different platform.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/Express can answer alot of questions on C#, try it and the C++ Express, free until Nov 6, 2006 and see for yourself.\n\nC# is really a great .NET compiler it seems designed for it.  But going into the opsys and targeting a specific platform can be done and it's actually easier than C++ and of C.\n\nMSDN and CodeProject have great referrences for beginners and the community is always great at anwering your questions.  There is no such thing as a dumb question, everyone's out there to learn and help one another learn.\n\nIt's so needed with how fast things change and how much there is to know.  One man is no islanad in development these days.

Check this out.  It is talking about VS .NET 2003 but should get you the needed information.\n\n\n\nhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/previous/2003/sysreqs/default.aspx

Visual Studio .NET and Visual Studio 2005 have no difference, just this that VS2005 is the latest version in the series of VS.NET\n\nin common practice VS.NET has come to be synonymous to VS.NET 2003 edition so VS2005 is the next generation VS supporting both .NET application programming (over the new .NET 2.0 framework), also supports legacy C++ coding (i mean without the use of .NET components, that can then be compiled to native executables.) and also supports coding for the coming up Windows Vista OS platform using the next generation .NET platform called WinFX\n\nso you can say VS2005 is a superset of VS.NET 2003\n\nHope this will clear all your ambuigities.

goto this site for VB.Net and C# :\nhttp://www.samspublishing.com/articles/article.asp?p=31560&seqNum=1&rl=1\n\ntry to find for ASP in internet, i'm too sleepy right now.\n\nbtw, why didn't you open the sample source code from VB and ASP, there's must be a sample source code with 2 or more form.

That's not quite true. I am still hiring VB (and VBA) programmers. However, the trend does seem to be toward DotNet.  You may want to contact this guy (Mark) for more information:

Sure if you only want to program in .NET. Learn C++ for a more versatile language that you can used on other operating systems.

There are big differences between C# and C++.\n\nC++ is an older language and is not tied to any particular platform.  It is somewhat object-oriented, and the compiler compiles it to native machine code, which means it is generally faster and less safe.\n\nC# is a newer language that only works in .NET, which these days means Windows.  It is very object-oriented (similar to Java), and it compiles to an intermediate language (the .NET IL), which means the code may run a little slower but is safer.\n\nFor more information, read the articles below.  These languages don't really have much in common except a lot of syntax and the "C" in their names.

For client/server work I use vb.net. For web work I use ColdFusion. They are both easy to learn and easy to use.

Those are programming languages. IT's not that easy to list all the details here. C#,ASP.NET and VB.NET are products of Microsoft. Why dodn't you try google!

You write ASP.NET programs in one of four programming languages: C#.NET, C++.NET, VB.NET or J#.NET.\n\nYou can write that code in Notepad, if you're really good; but chances are, you'll want an IDE (integrated development environment) to make coding a lot easier. Fortunately, Microsoft gives one away for free.\n\nTo download it, and for answers on all things ASP.NET:\n\nhttp://www.asp.net

presumably a language with inherent XML support\n\nI would steer clear of .net since its idea of XML is non-standard (ms specific in most areas)\n\njava 1.5 fully supports XML parsing and generation, the real advantage here is its cross platform support\n\nRuby is said to be make the most logical sense syntactically , so I would suggest this language. If portability isn't an issue.\n\nPHP's latest incarnation is said to be very powerful, however I don't see any distinct advantages in using it

It was originally designed so you could determine what type of website it was by the name.  Now that these are up for sale among the public, .com, .net, and .org have lost that meaning.\n\n.com stands for commercial \n\n.net stands for Network - it was originally used by Internet Service Providers\n\n.org - organization\n\nThere is also .gov (government), .edu (education), and probably a few others I can't think of right now.
