ASP.NET 1.0 training - what's new for ASP.NET 1.0

Saying that ASP.NET improves upon Active Server Pages is like saying that computers improved upon abaci. ASP.NET includes features like validation controls, datagrids and debugging which ASP users used to dream of. If you are still using ASP - now is the time to stop. Specific changes include:

Change	Details
Validation controls	You can include validation automatically within any HTML form control - an example is shown in HTML view below
Web server controls	Want to display a text box on a form? The ASP.NET web server controls provide easy-to-remember tags and attributes - again, an example is shown below
Code behind	You can put all of your programming code in a completely separate file - an excerpt is shown below
Debugging	You can set breakpoints and watches, use the call stack … all the things you always wanted to be able to do. An example of an ASP.NET breakpoint is shown below
