ASP HOME

Welcome to ASP HOME! Here, you will be introduced to the fundamentals of classic ASP or ASP.NET Web Pages, how to set up your environment, and how to start creating dynamic web applications.

Key Topics

Overview

ASP (Active Server Pages) is a server-side scripting technology that enables you to write dynamic, data-driven web pages. Whether you are exploring classic ASP or the newer ASP.NET (Razor Pages), you will find similarities in how server-side code interacts with client-side markup.

Environment Setup

Setting up your environment involves installing a web server (like IIS on Windows) and configuring ASP/ASP.NET support. This can be done by enabling Windows features for IIS or by installing the .NET SDK for ASP.NET Web Pages (Razor).

Your First Example

Example

<!-- Example in Razor syntax (Index.cshtml) -->
@{
    var greeting = "Hello from ASP!";
}
<h2>@greeting</h2>

Output

Hello from ASP!

Explanation: The Razor code block is enclosed in @{ }. You can declare variables and perform server-side logic there. The result is then displayed in the HTML using @greeting.

Key Takeaways

  • ASP allows server-side code to be seamlessly integrated into HTML pages.
  • Environment setup is straightforward on Windows via IIS or .NET SDK installations.
  • Razor syntax simplifies mixing C# code with HTML content.
