ASP.NET - the latest incarnation of Microsoft's middleware for the Internet - is built upon the .NET Framework. It is the environment that supports developers who use the .NET Framework to develop web-based applications.
It is bundled with Internet Information Server (IIS). The fundamental idea is that HTML pages can be created with little embedded bits of Visual Basic, C# or other languages, that are interpreted by the server.
TX Text Control .NET Server is deployed as an automation server on Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). All properties and methods are available in ASP.NET projects, making TX Text Control .NET Server ideally suitable for web server applications.
