  1. Lesson 2 • What is ASP.NET? • What is Web Matrix? • What are the features of Web Matrix? • What is the difference between ASP.NET & Web Matrix?

  2. What’s ASP.NET? • The latest version of ASP is known as ASP.NET • Visual Studio .NET is a developer application used to create ASP.NET Web applications • There are two main types of Web resources created with ASP.NET applications • WebForms are ASP.NET pages within an ASP.NET application • Web Services are ASP.NET Web pages that contain publicly exposed code so that other applications can interact with them • Web Services are identified with the file extension .asmx

  3. How does it work?

  4. So, what’s web matrix? • ASP.NET Web Matrix is a community-supported, easy-to-use WYSIWYG application development tool for ASP.NET.  It can be installed via a quick 1.2 MB download (about 5 minutes using a 56Kb modem).  Best of all — it's absolutely free!

  5. Web Matrix Features • SP.NET Page Designer.  Rapidly create ASP.NET pages using the rich WYSIWYG designer. Drag and drop ASP.NET Server controls from the Toolbox onto your page. Select individual server controls to get in-place designer editing support as well as full property grid customization. Simply double-click a server control to get automatic event wireup of server event handlers. • SQL and MSDE Database Management.  Integrated support to create and edit SQL and MSDE databases. Create new databases, add/edit/delete tables and stored procedures, and edit data content all directly within the Web Matrix tool. Auto-generate ADO.NET code to execute SQL statements and stored procedures using built-in code builders. • Easy Data Bound UI Generation.  Web Matrix makes it easy to create data bound pages without writing code. Drop SQL tables on your page to create data-bound grids, or start with Data Page templates for reports or Master/Detail pages. Code builders help you generate code to select, insert, update and delete SQL data. • XML Web Services Support.  Easily add XML Web Service support to your applications. Web Matrix provides support for developers to easily expose a SOAP-based XML Web Service, as well as call and consume a XML Web Service hosted on another server.

  6. More features • Build Mobile Applications.  Write mobile-web-enabled applications for a wide variety of mobile devices such as cell phones, pagers and PDAs. Web Matrix provides drag-and-drop design support for authoring mobile pages using ASP.NET and the Mobile Internet Toolkit. • Projectless File and FTP Workspaces.  Web Matrix supports both FTP-based and file-based workspaces that allow developers to easily organize and edit their ASP.NET applications. Simply double-click a file within the workspace tree to open it for editing. No FrontPage server extensions or project system required. • Development Web Server.  Develop and test your ASP.NET applications, without requiring IIS. Web Matrix includes a lightweight personal web server that serves most web content, including ASP.NET pages and XML Web Services, for local requests. • Community Integration.  Web Matrix provides a built-in gateway to the ASP.NET community right within the IDE -- allowing you to browse community web sites and search the ASP.NET Forums and Newsgroups for help.

  7. Programming languages supported • Visual Basic • C#

  8. SQL Database • Web Matrix ships with support for MSDE -- a SQL Server Compatible Database Engine

  9. IIs web server • Web Matrix does not require IIS on a machine for development.  ASP.NET Web Matrix includes its own mini-webserver that hosts ASP.NET and can be used for local machine development and testing (note: this web server handles only local machine requests -- it does not allow remote machine connections).  • IIS is required for production server deployment of ASP.NET web applications developed using Web Matrix.

  10. System Requirements • ASP.NET Web Matrix is supported on Windows 2000 (Professional and Server editions) and Windows XP (Home, Professional) operating systems.  You must have IE 5.5 or greater and the .NET Framework installed.

  11. What does Visual Studio .NET offer that isn't in ASP.NET Web Matrix? • Visual Studio .NET is the tool of choice for building professional ASP.NET Web applications -- and includes many, many features not supported by ASP.NET Web Matrix.  A short list of these additional features include: • Intellisence statement completion support • Debugging support • Class designer and library component compilation support • Source control for multi-developer projects • Support for building Windows Client and NT Service applications • Enterprise Data, Class, XML Schema and Business Process Modelling designers • Many additional features too numerous to list... • Visual Basic .NET and Visual C# .NET Standard Editions can be purchased for $106 (suggested retail price).
