Explain main differences between ASP and ASP.NET?


ASP.NET supports new features:
Better Language Support
  New ADO.NET Concepts have been implemented.
  ASP.NET supports full language (C#, VB.NET, C++) and not simple scripting like Vbscript.
Better controls than ASP
  ASP.NET covers large sets of HTML controls.
  Better Display grid like Datagrid, Repeater and DataList. Many of the display grids have paging support.
Compiled Code
  The first request for an ASP.NET page on the server will compile the ASP.NET code and keep a cached copy in memory. The result of this is greatly increased performance.

Controls have events support
  All ASP.NET controls support events.
  Load, Click and Change events handled by code makes coding much simpler and much better organized.

  The first request for an ASP.NET page on the server will compile the ASP.NET code and keep a cached copy in memory. The result of this is greatly increased performance.
Better Authentication Support
  ASP.NET supports forms-based user authentication, including cookie management and automatic redirecting of unauthorized logins. (You can still do your custom login page and custom user checking).
User Accounts and Roles
  ASP.NET allows for user accounts and roles, to give each user (with a given role) access to different server code and executables.
High Scalability
  Server to server communication has been greatly enhanced, 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.
Easy Configuration
  Configuration of ASP.NET is done with plain text files.
  Configuration files can be uploaded or changed while the application is running. No need to restart the server, deal with metabase or registry.
Easy Deployment
  No more server restart to deploy or replace compiled code. ASP.NET simply redirects all new requests to the new code.
