Overview


A Web application causes a Web server to send HTML code to a client. That code is displayed in a Web browser like Internet Explorer. When a user enters a URL string in the browser, an HTTP request is sent to the Web server. The HTTP request contains the filename that is requested along with additional information such as a string identifying the client application, the languages that the client supports, and additional data that belongs to the request. The Web server returns an HTTP response that contains HTML code, which is interpreted by the Web browser to display text boxes, buttons, and lists to the user.

Note

You can read more about the HTTP protocol in Chapter 29.

ASP.NET is a technology for dynamically creating Web pages with server-side code. These Web pages can be developed with many similarities to client-side Windows programs. Instead of dealing directly with the HTTP request and response and manually creating HTML code to send to the client, you can use controls such as TextBox, Label, ComboBox and Calendar, which create HTML code themselves.
