What is ASP.NET?
ASP.NET is a development framework for creating web pages and websites using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and server scripts.
ASP.NET supports three different development modes:
Web Pages (Web pages), MVC (Model View Controller model-view-controller), Web Forms (Web forms).
- Web Pages Single Page Mode
The simplest ASP.NET mode.
Similar to PHP and classic ASP.
Built-in templates and helpers such as databases, videos, graphics, and social media. - MVC Model-View-Controller
MVC divides a web application into three different components: the
model is responsible for data, the
view is responsible for display, and the
controller is responsible for input. - Web Forms event-driven model The
traditional ASP.NET event-driven development model:
Web pages with server controls, server events, and server code.
