Can anyone give me a brief overview of [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) ASP and ASPX? I have read things online and have my own impression, but most certainly it’s wrong. Another important question is: what does a webserver need to serve .asp and .aspx pages? Thanks ---

[http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1](http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1) the .NET framework is designed to no longer be hindered by different programming languages, but to allow a web language to run multiple applications on different servers in different programming languages…it’s the future of server side scripting - it is so much more technical than that…so just go to the web page above and explore. wish you could have went to the conference i went to - would make more sense. you need IIS installed on the server, but that website will discuss all of that… what perked your interest in [asp.net](http://asp.net)? ---

Thanks for the link and info. I’m always interested in web technologies. I read somewhere that you can write code in C# that is then used in [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET). I’ve dabbled in C# and so that appealed to me. I prefer C# to C++, so [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) has looked like a good php replacement for me. I want to learn more about C#/ASP.NET and hopefully i’ll be able to run stuff off the server I rent. That was the main reason I asked about requirements. I know I could get my own computer to serve [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) pages, I just want to figure out if my hosting company can (they don’t advertise it) without too much trouble. Thanks again for your help! :thumb: ---

no problem, yes that is the beauty of .NET taking your C applications and running them 🙂
