• Forgot to say that a major point of the semantic Web is (in many senses) to have “more than one type of HREF”

This time: .NET is built on the following Internet standards:• HTTP: the communication protocol

between Internet Applications • XML: the format for exchanging data

between Internet Applications (includes DTD XML Schema, XSL etc)

• SOAP: the standard format for requesting Web Services

• UDDI: the standard to search and discover Web Services

WSDL – Web Services DL• WSDL is a document written in XML.

The document describes a Web service. It specifies the location of the service and the operations (or methods) the service exposes.

Web Services are Extensible

WSDL provides a way (in this case) to add another server to the service list that deals provides another service site

ASP.NET or ASP+ • Currently all .NET stuff is proprietary although MS

claim that Python, PHP and Perl etc will be incorporated (eventually).

• This means you need to have the Internet Information Services (IIS) to do .NET, i.e. you can’t be running Apache and you need the IDE. To run ASP .NET you need a computer capable of running Windows.

• Currently .NET supports C++, C#, Visual Basic, and JScript (The Microsoft version of JavaScript).

• For these reasons we look at the .NET idea as ASP.NET

ASP.NET - How Does it Work?• When a browser requests an HTML

file, the server returns the file • When a browser requests an ASP file,

IIS passes the request to ASP • ASP engine reads the file, line-by-line,

and executes the scripts in the file • Finally, the ASP file is returned to the

browser as plain HTML • So what?

HTML Server controls: Event trapping and dynamic services resolution

Server controls (3 types) • HTML Server Controls - Traditional HTML tags • Web Server Controls - New ASP .NET tags • Validation Server Controls - For input validation

Catch and throw events: In the above a Button server is declared in an .aspx file. An event handler for the Click event changes the text on the button.http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/showasp.asp?filename=demo_button

.NET Summary• .NET is Microsoft's new Internet and Web strategy • .NET is NOT a new operating system • .NET is a new Internet and Web based

infrastructure • .NET delivers software as Web Services • .NET is a framework for universal services • .NET is a server centric computing model • .NET will run in any browser on any platform but

you must run IIS and Windows on your server • .NET is based on the newest Web standards
