In ASP.NET , some of the technologies have been integrated , which make the task of developing websites easy for developers. The combination of these technologies provides a common platform to web developers enabling them to handle complicated databases in an easier manner . These new integrated technologies are as follows:
- MVC Framework
- Entity Framework
- ADO.NET Data Services Framework
- The Silverlight Technology
- Dynamic Data Framework.
MVC Framework : In MVC Framework stands for model ,view , and controller . It is an architectural pattern , which is used in software engineering . In programming, It is very general to split an application into separate layers , that is , presentation layer (UI) ,logic, and data access layer that run on different computers, whereas in MVC , the presentation layer is further separated into two parts , such as view and controller.
ADO.NET Entity Framework : ADO.NET Entity framework enables users to visually design models and mappings , tables , and views by using visual studio and .NET framework . Every business application has a conceptual data model that has to deal with data represented in relational form. Even if higher level of conceptual model is used we have to first convert it into relation from and then apply it to logical database schema or relational model. This is done because conceptual model is not directly executable . Entity framework provides capability to program conceptual model. The goal of introducing Entity Framework is to raise the level of abstraction for data programming and to help developers to increase productivity.
ADO.NET Data Service Framework : ADO.NET Data services framework consists of a combination of patterns and libraries that enable the creation and consumption of data services for the web so that it can be consumed by web clients within a corporate network or across the internet . The objective of ADO.NET Data Services framework is to facilitate the creation of flexible data services that are integrated with the web.
The Silverlight Technology : Silverlight is a Technology that allows web designers and web developers to stretch the boundaries of web application development. It was formerly known as windows presentation Foundation / everywhere (WPF/E) . Silverlight is a plug-in that can work in a cross-platform ,cross-browser, and cross-device environment . It is an integration of the rich user interface of desktop applications and the transparency of other web languages, such as HTML and JavaScript . Silverlight enables you to develop web application containing high-fidelity multimedia content and eye -catching visual effect.
Dynamic Data Framework : ASP.NET Dynamic Data is a framework that allows you to easily build data driven web application based on the foundation of the entity framework data model or LINQ to SQL data model . The purpose of a data model is to represent the information about the items present in a database . It also depicts the relation between different items of the database.
