-
What is the purpose of the ASP.NET engine?
-
True or False: ASP.NET pages can include Visual Basic or C# source code.
-
What software packages must be installed to serve ASP.NET pages from a computer?
-
When should you consider using a web-hosting company to host your ASP.NET website?
Answers
-
The HTML markup for a static web page remains constant until a developer actually modifies the page's HTML. The HTML for a dynamic web page, on the other hand, is produced every time the web page is requested.
-
When the web server receives a request for an ASP.NET page, it hands it off to the ASP.NET engine, which then executes the requested ASP.NET page and returns the rendered HTML to the web server. The ASP.NET engine allows for the HTML of an ASP.NET page to be dynamically generated for each request.
-
True.
-
For a computer to serve ASP.NET pages, the .NET Framework and a web server that supports ASP.NET must be installed.
-
You should consider using a web-hosting company if you want your ASP.NET website to be accessible via the Internet. Typically, it's best to first develop the website locally and then deploy it to a web-hosting company when you are ready to go live.
