Hosting ASP.NET Pages
Hosting ASP.NET pages locally through the ASP.NET Development Web Server has a number of advantages:
* Testing can be done while offline-Because the request from your browser is being directed to your own personal computer, you don’t need to be connected to the Internet to test your ASP.NET pages.
* It’s fast-Local requests are, naturally, much quicker than requests that must travel over the Internet.
* Advanced debugging features are available-By developing locally, you can use advanced debugging techniques, such as halting the execution of an ASP.NET page and stepping through its code line-by-line.
* It’s secure-The ASP.NET Development Web Server allows only local connections. With this lightweight web server, you don’t need to worry about hackers gaining access to your system through an open website.
The main disadvantage of hosting ASP.NET pages locally is that they can be viewed only from your computer. That is, a visitor on another computer cannot enter some URL into her browser’s Address bar that will take her to the ASP.NET website you’ve created on your local computer. If you want to create an ASP.NET website that can be visited by anyone with an Internet connection, you should consider using a web-hosting company.
Web-hosting companies have a number of Internet-accessible computers on which individuals or companies can host their websites. These computers contain web servers that are accessible from any other computer on the Internet. Hour 24, “Deploying Your Website,” explores how to move an ASP.NET website from your personal computer to a web-hosting company’s computers. After a website has been successfully deployed to a web-hosting company, you, or anyone else on the Internet, can visit the site.
ASP.NET Master Pages – Interview Questions
What is Master Page in ASP.NET?
A Master page offers a template for one or more web forms. It defines placeholders for the content, which can be overridden by the content pages. The content pages contains only content. When users request the content page, ASP.NET merges the layout of the master page with the content of the content page and produce output.
Advantages of using Master Page in ASP.NET
Master pages enables consistent and standardized layout to the website.
You can make layout changes of the site in the master page instead of making change in the pages.
It is very easy to implement.
Advantages and disadvantages of using multithreading
Advantages:
Simultaneous access to multiple applications
Reduced number of required servers
Improved performance and concurrency
Simplified coding of remote procedure calls and conversations
Disadvantages:
Code writing, debugging, managing concurrency, testing, porting existing code is difficult in multithreading and multicontexting.
Programmers need to remove static variables and replace any code that is not thread-safe to introduce threading into a previously non threaded application.
