Rodillo de Blog:
community leaders, is graciously hosting an e-mail-based discussion list for ASP.NET. This discussion list is one of the best places to learn and contribute to the growing pool of developer knowledge surrounding ASP.NET. Charles monitors and filters all messages to ensure that posted topics are relevant to the list, so you'll never get any spam or off-topic discussions. In addition to the community aspects of the list, the Microsoft .NET Framework team regularly participates in the discussions and posts sample code. Most recently, Scott Guthrie posted a dynamic image-generation ASP.NET sample. To join the discussion list simply visit http://www.asplists.com/asplists/aspng.asp. On this page you will find a complete listing of ASP.NET related e-mail discussion lists on a variety of topics. The most active list, and the one that I suggest joining, is ASPNGBeta. Select ASPNGBeta from the list. You can even visit http://www.asplists.com/asplists/aspngbeta.asp directly and select the options for how you wish to receive the e-mail distribution. Step 4: Frequently Asked QuestionsWill my existing ASP application break if I install the SDK and use ASP.NET?No, ASP.NET applications can run side-by-side with existing ASP applications. The file extensions used by ASP (.asp, .asa) and those used by ASP.NET (.aspx, .asax, .ascx, .asmx, etc.) are completely separate and do not override each other. Furthermore, a separate ISAPI extension handles the processing of ASP.NET applications. One caveat: Although ASP and ASP.NET applications can run side-by-side, even within the same directory, they share no application information. For example, settings made within global.asa will not apply to ASP.NET applications; settings made in global.asax will not apply to ASP applications. Similarly, Application and Session state information is not shared. Session data added for a user in an ASP.NET application is not available for that same user in an ASP application unless it is re-created. Is Visual Studio or some other tool required to create ASP.NET pages?No. Although Visual Studio .NET will provide an amazing design, coding, and debugging environment, it is not required to build ASP.NET applications. ASP.NET follows the same "just hit save" design principle of ASP: Any text-based editing application may be used to create ASP.NET applications. When an ASP.NET page is first accessed, it is compiled automatically, and future requests will access the compiled resource. Does ASP.NET run on Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me?No. You can certainly use one of these platforms as your development machine, but your ASP.NET application must run on a Web server, either Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003, with IIS installed. Step 5: Learn moreIn this step I've attempted to outline some of the great resources already available online, in print, and in person. I will continue to list new resources and upcoming events as I learn about them. IBuySpy Microsoft ASP.NET Sample ApplicationIBuySpy is a full-feature, e-commerce application that provides an excellent introduction to building high-performance, scalable Web applications by using ASP.NET. You can browse the sample application online, including full source code and documentation, or you can download a complete C# or Visual Basic .NET version of the application. ASP.NET HostingBrinkster Inc., the largest free ASP Web host, is now offering free ASP.NET hosting. Members get 5 MB of space to test and learn ASP.NET. The membership is for testing and learning purposes, and will give developers an opportunity to explore this new technology. Brinkster has been offering free ASP hosting for more than a year and is a leader in the ASP/ASP.NET hosting market. Community Sites and Distribution ListsThe community (people, events, discussion lists, newsgroups, etc.) forming for ASP.NET is fantastic, not to mention one of the best places to get questions answered and problems solved. A few of the sites are hosting Quickstart samples online—which means that you can try ASP.NET, but never install it! Popularity: 8% [?] Related Posts:No Comments »No comments yet.
