Building ASP.NET Applications

  • Article

ASP.NET provides a unified Web development model that includes the services necessary for you to build enterprise-class Web applications. ASP.NET is part of the .NET Framework and enables you to take full advantage of the features of the common language runtime, such as type safety, inheritance, language interoperability, and versioning.

The topics in this section provide you with conceptual information about how ASP.NET works and procedural topics that show you how to write code that takes advantage of the power of ASP.NET to create dynamic Web applications.
