Microsoft ASP .NET
|
Microsoft® ASP.NET, versions 1.1 and 2.0, make building Web
applications dramatically easier. ASP.NET server controls
enable an HTML-like style of declarative programming that
let you build great pages with far less code than with
classic ASP. Displaying data, validating user input, and
uploading files are all amazingly easy. Best of all,
ASP.NET pages work in all browsers -- including Netscape,
Opera, AOL, and Internet Explorer.
ASP.NET lets you leverage your current programming
language skills. Unlike classic ASP, which supports
only interpreted VBScript and JScript, ASP.NET now
supports more than 25 .NET languages (including built-in
support for VB.NET, C#, and JScript.NET -- no tool required),
giving you unprecendented flexibility in your choice of language.
Application features that used to be hard to implement, or
required a 3rd-party component, can now be added in just a
few lines of code using the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework
offers over 4500 classes that encapsulate rich functionality
like XML, data access, file upload, regular expressions,
image generation, and much more!
NOTE: SQL Server Express 2005 is not suitable for a production environment
and is not available on the server locally. SQL Server 2005 is also currently not provided by ITC.
This means that some ASP .Net Version 2.0 features, such as "membership and roles", are not available
on this web server. Anyone wishing to use SQL Server remotely will need to inquire about ITC's SQL
Server 2000 service which is available for a minimal fee.

Microsoft Active Server Pages
(ASP)
|
Microsoft® Active Server Pages (ASP) is a server-side
scripting environment that you can use to create interactive
Web pages and build powerful Web applications. When
the server receives a request for an ASP file, it
processes server-side scripts contained in the file
to build the Web page that is sent to the browser.
In addition to server-side scripts, ASP files can
contain HTML (including related client-side scripts)
as well as calls to COM components that perform a
variety of tasks, such as connecting to a database
or processing business logic.

Microsoft Data Access Components
(MDAC)
|
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) provide easy-to-use,
high-performance access to all types of data throughout
the enterprise. Developers creating client/server
and Internet/intranet-based data driven solutions
use these components to easily integrate information
from a variety of sources, both relational and non-relational.
Microsoft Data Access Components consists of new versions
of ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), OLE DB, and Open Database
Connectivity (ODBC) which are released, documented,
and supported together.
