ASP.NET Versions

However, the development of ASP.NET 5 has been stopped in favor of a completely new ASP.NET CORE.


Classic ASP - Active Server Pages

Active Server Pages (ASP), also known as Classic ASP, was introduced in 1998 as Microsoft's first server side scripting language.

ASP is a technology that enables scripts in web pages to be executed by an Internet server.

ASP pages have the file extension .asp, and are normally written in VBScript.

ASP.NET

ASP.NET is a new ASP generation. It is not compatible with Classic ASP

ASP.NET pages have the extension .aspx, and are normally written in VB (Visual Basic) or C# (C sharp).

When a browser requests an ASP.NET file, the ASP.NET engine reads the file, compiles and executes the scripts in the file, and returns the result to the browser as plain HTML.
