ASP.NET was first released in January 2002 with version 1.0 of the .NET Framework and is the successor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. ASP.NET is built on the Common Language Runtime (clr), allowing programmers to write ASP.NET code using any supported .NET language.

Typically, ASP.NET uses a WebForms style of development, which was also the original method of developing web applications in ASP.NET. Web forms are a model which mimics the control/event model of classic Windows Forms development providing the illusion of stateful pages.

There are two templating engines for ASP.NET MVC. The original one is webforms-view-engine and uses .aspx and .ascx files for views and partial views, respectively. The other, newer one is razor, which focuses on developer productivity by providing more concise and less obtrusive syntax.

It is useful to use this tag in conjunction with the project type tag e.g. asp.net-mvc, webforms, or asp.net-web-api. DO NOT use this tag for questions about ASP.NET Core - use asp.net-core instead.

Typically, ASP.NET uses a WebForms style of development, which was also the original method of developing web applications in ASP.NET. Web forms are a model which mimics the control/event model of classic WinForms development providing the illusion of stateful pages.

For ASP.NET MVC, instead of a control library, there exist HTML helper methods which make it easier to blend HTML markup with code, while allowing developers to create views in mostly pure HTML.
