need some .net vocabulary

[tyris]

hi , i need to have some vocabulary in order to define in implementation.
let's take servlets for reference. servlets are web components that can takes many parameter and anwser when they are asked for.
what is the corresponding notion under .net ? what's the conposant that deals with parameter, where is the "place" where the code answers to the parameters ?

hope it's not too fuzzy

Hey Elise,

k, this is going to be a bit different from what you're used to: instead of writing servlets that basically hold functions and sub procedures, you'll be writing DLL files (dynamic link libraries). These files sit on your web server (or however you have your network set up), and your asp.net pages will have them referenced so they can use the code.

In .NET, the DLL files are referred to as Code Libraries.

Anything else, let us know

okay, it's really a different state of mind... gonna take a few days until i feel the .NET philosophy, too far from java...

heh, well its also very flexible too though. For instance, you could, in one of your .net projects, have module or class files that just hold code and can be accessed from any other file in the project. That way, you wouldn't have to worry about the dll's, and it would be a bit more like Java (as far as including files and such)

However, DLL's are a better way to go, as any project can reference the code within, whereas the scenario I described above allows the code to only be availalbe to the local project files.
