ASP to ASP.NET Migration

Migration Life Cycle
Migration from ASP to ASP.NET can drastically improve the performance of your applications. A software created using ASP.NET is more robust, scalable, reliable, and secure as compared to the software created using ASP. ASP.NET, which is a new version of ASP, removes all the shortcomings of ASP. For example, it removes tier confusion from the code (by providing an easy way to separate presentation layer, business logic layer; and database layer), It allows code compilation instead of code interpretation, and provides CLR (Common Language Runtime) for built in garbage collection to avoid memory leaks.

ASP.NET, which uses .NET Framework, enables you to build globally distributed applications with Internet functionality and interoperability built into them. ASP.NET enables you to build platform independent software that can be easily integrated with any application developed on any platform and language that supports CLR. The .NET platforms now support approximately 25.NET compatible languages as compared to ASP, which can support only two scripting languages such as VB Script and JavaScript.

ASP to ASP.NET migration can open a whole new world of possibilities for your web-based applications. For example, you can make use of already existing XML web services in your code to add a new feature or functionality to your code. XML Web services can be utility programs created by any developer and can be made available through Internet world wide without worrying about the operating system and programming language used to create them. Consider a situation where you want to validate the credit card number of your online customers on your website. Instead of writing the code to validate the credit card numbers of the customers yourself, you can simply plug in the already available Web service providing credit card validation in your code.

In addition, the ASP.NET migration can make the code of your application considerably small, easily manageable, and easily deployable. This white paper discusses the benefits that you may get, after the migration of your application from ASP to ASP.NET with the help of Universal Web Solutions. It provides all the valuable information in understanding the important aspects of migration from ASP to ASP.NET and provides a clear insight into the b?enefits of proposed migration. This paper enables you to understand the complexities in migration and how Universal Web Solutions enables a smooth .NET migration of your ASP code by providing you the best .NET migration solution. Further this paper discusses about the facts that you must consider before going for a migration and various migration strategies that Universal Web Solutions offers.

Benefits of ASP to ASP.NET Migration

Microsoft's .NET Framework is rapidly gaining momentum as a standard for business systems, both within an organization and for the external clients of an organization. The advantages of migration of your existing applications to ASP.NET are enormous and disadvantages are none. This is because all the features of asp are available in ASP.NET. Installing ASP.NET does not break your existing ASP applications. ASP.NET uses a separate file name extension (.aspx instead of .asp), separate configuration settings, and an entirely separate runtime technology. With an ASP application entire web server may go down if one application crashes but ASP.NET processes run in a different server space and in separate application domain. This saves entire web server to crash just because of one application. If ASP and ASP.NET are installed on the same computer, ASP pages and applications can continue to use the existing ASP engine, with no interference from ASP.NET.

Some other benefits of ASP to ASP.NET Migration are:
Better Language Support: ASP.NET is platform independent technology and supports 25 .NET languages such as C#, VB.NET, and JavaScript. .NET Developers can visually create Web pages with the use of VB style drag drop feature in Visual Studio.NET IDE. They can use built in debugging, testing and deployment features of .NET platform for easy manageability of code. In addition developers can use over 4500 .NET framework classes that provides a number of controls for performance monitoring, logging, file upload, image generation, XML processing, data access, transactions, regular expressions, message queuing, SMTP mail and much more. Event-Driven Programming: ASP .NET is an object oriented technology that supports event driven programming unlike ASP. Objects on a Web page can expose events that can be processed by ASP .NET code. Load, Click and Change events handled by code makes coding much simpler and better organized.

Improved Scalability: ASP.NET has removed the bottlenecks created by ASP sessions, which used to work well only on the server where they were created. They used to store the session data "in-process" on the web server, which was a cause of scalability bottlenecks on high-volume sites. ASP.NET stores session's data on a dedicated state server that can be easily shared by multiple web servers and on an SQL Server database too, providing a better scalability and availability of sessions. This has improved the server to server communication, making it possible to scale an application over several servers. One example of this is the ability to run XML parsers, XSL transformations and even resource hungry session objects on other servers. Universal Web Solutions solutions for success
