ASP.NET和.NET框架-中英文文献-外文翻译毕业设计论文.doc

附录B 英文文献 ASP.NET and the .NET Framework ASP.NET is part of Microsofts overall .NET framework, which contains a vast set of programming classes designed to satisfy any conceivable programming need. In the following two sections, you learn how ASP.NET fits within the .NET framework, and you learn about the languages you can use in your ASP.NET pages. The .NET Framework Class Library Imagine that you are Microsoft. Imagine that you have to support multiple programming languages梥uch as Visual Basic, JScript, and C++. A great deal of the functionality of these programming languages overlaps. For examplea, for each language, you would have to include methods for accessing the file system, working with databases, and manipulating strings. Furthermore, these languages contain similar programming constructs. Every language, for example, can represent loops and conditionals. Even though the syntax of a conditional written in Visual Basic differs from the syntax of a conditional written in C++, the programming function is the same. Finally, most programming languages have similar variable data types. In most languages, you have some means of representing strings and integers, for example. The maximum and minimum size of an integer might depend on the language, but the basic data type is the same. Maintaining all this functionality for multiple languages requires a lot of work. Why keep reinventing the wheel? Wouldnt it be easier to create all this functionality once and use it for every language? The .NET Framework Class Library does exactly that. It consists of a vast set of classes designed to satisfy any conceivable programming need. For example, the .NET framework contains classes for handling database access, working with the file system, manipulating text, and generating graphics. In addition, it contains more specialized classes for performing tasks such as working with regular expressions and handling network protocols. The .NET framework, furthermore, contains class
