Some of the differences between ASP.NET and ASP include the following:

• ASP.NET features a completely object-oriented programming model, which includes an event driven,
control-based architecture that encourages code encapsulation and code reuse.

• ASP.NET gives you the ability to code in any supported .NET language (including VisualBasic, C#, J#,
and many other languages that have third-party compilers).

• ASP.NET is dedicated to high performance. ASP.NET pages and components are compiled ondemand
instead of being interpreted every time they’re used. ASP.NET also includes a finetuned data access
model and flexible data caching to further boost performance.
