ASP.NET is one of the hottest and latest technologies used for building fast and secured server-side applications. ASP.NET has simplified the work for developers by introducing new Web form controls, namespaces, and classes. Moreover, developers need not have to spend a long time coding as it has been reduced to a great extent due to the introduction of new features.
ASP.NET is a web application framework developed and marketed by Microsoft to allow programmers to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services. It was first released in January 2002 with version 1.0 of the .NET Framework, and is the successor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. ASP.NET is built on the Common Language Runtime (CLR), allowing programmers to write ASP.NET code using any supported .NET language.
Directory structure:
In general, the ASP.NET directory structure can be determined by the developer's preferences. Apart from a few reserved directory names, the site can span any number of directories. The structure is typically reflected directly in the urls. Although ASP.NET provides means for intercepting the request at any point during processing, the developer is not forced to funnel requests through a central application or front controller.
The special directory names are:
- App_Browsers: holds site-specific browser definition files.
- App_Code: This is the "raw code" directory. The ASP.NET server automatically compiles files and subdirectories in this folder into an assembly which is accessible in the code of every page of the site. App_Code will typically be used for data access abstraction code, model code and business code. Also any site-specific http handlers and modules and web service implementation go in this directory. As an alternative to using App_Code, a developer may opt to provide a separate assembly with precompiled code.
- App_Data: default directory for databases, such as Access mdb files and SQL Server mdf files. This directory is usually the only one with write access for the application.
- App_LocalResources: Contains localized resource files for individual pages of the site. E.g. a file called CheckOut.aspx.fr-FR.resx holds localized resources for the French version of the CheckOut.aspx page. When the UI culture is set to french, ASP.NET will automatically find and use this file for localization.
- App_GlobalResources: Holds resx files with localized resources available to every page of the site. This is where the ASP.NET developer will typically store localized messages etc. which are used on more than one page.
- App_Themes: holds alternative themes of the site.
- App_WebReferences: holds discovery files and WSDL files for references to web services to be consumed in the site.
- Bin: Contains compiled code (.dll files) for controls, components, or other code that you want to reference in your application. Any classes represented by code in the Bin folder are automatically referenced in your application.
