Creating your first ASP.Net project - conclusion

We have now outlined three ways in which a web application can be created using three different tools.

In the first case we used the built in tools and wizards from the IIS Management Console to manually create a sub web within the Default Web Site. The IIS Management Console has a range of tools for both creation of web sites and managing them on an ongoing basis. A basic understanding of the options will be of use as at some stage it will certainly be necessary to resort to these tools to fix issues that may arise.

In the second example we used Web Matrix to create a folder within which our initial web page was created and stored. Web Matrix assisted us in the creation of this folder and the first web page and wrote some of the required code for this first web page. We then used Web Matrix to create a Virtual Directory in IIS based on this folder so that the web page could be viewed from within a web browser using the web server.

Finally, we used Visual Studio to create a new Solution which contained a single Project (our web site). Visual Studio created this for us along with the necessary files within a sub web of the Default Web Site of IIS. Visual Studio also created our first web page which could be viewed using a web browser across the web server.

So far the differences in the process have been marginal but as we progress through the coming tutorials the differences in the development software will become more significant and the benefits of each should become apparent.
