Server to server communication has been greatly enhanced, making it possible to scale an application over several servers. One example of this is the ability to run XML parsers, XSL transformations and even resource hungry session objects on other servers. The first request for an ASP.NET page on the server will compile the ASP.NET code and keep a cached copy in memory. The result of this is greatly increased performance. Easy Configuration Configuration of ASP.NET is done from plain text files.
Configuration files can be uploaded or changed while the application is running.
No need to restart the server. No more metabase or registry puzzle. Easy Deployment No more server restart to deploy or replace compiled code. ASP.NET simply redirects all new requests to the new code. This will make ASP.NET applications able to run side by side with standard ASP applications on the same server.
