Programming ASP -based Session object that maintains Variable s from page to page. Application Center Test is also available for load testing.

Most ASP pages are written in VBScript , but any other Active Scripting engine can be selected instead by using the @Language directive. JScript (Microsoft's implementation of ECMAScript ) is the other language that is usually available. PerlScript ( Perl ) and others are available as third-party installable Active Scripting engines.


VERSIONS

ASP has gone through four major releases:

  • ASP 1.0 (distributed with IIS 3.0) in December 1996,

  • ASP 2.0 (distributed with IIS 4.0) in September 1997,

  • ASP 3.0 (distributed with IIS 5.0) in November 2000,

  • ASP.NET (part of the Microsoft .NET Platform ) in January 2002 (the pre-.NET versions are currently referred to as "classic" ASP)

  • ASP.NET version 2.0 (released on November 7 , 2005 ).


ASP.NET was originally called "ASP+" or "ASP PLUS" before the .NET moniker was created.

ASP.NET introduced the ability to replace in-HTML scripting with full-fledged support for .NET languages such as Visual Basic .NET and C# . In-page scripting can still be used (and is fully supported), but now pages can use VB.NET and C# classes to generate pages instead of code in HTML pages.


APACHE::ASP

Apache::ASP provides an Active Server Pages port to the Apache Web Server with Perl scripting only, and enables developing of dynamic web applications with session management and embedded Perl code.
