What is the future of ASP.NET?

[supernaturaluser]

I asked the same question about C# and the guys said C# will be around for a long time. What about ASP.NET? will it be that popular as it's now after 5 years?

All platforms including .Net have the strengths and weaknesses. I think, Visual Studio is key to asp.net doing well. The big-picture advantage of .Net( & ASP.Net) is rapid application development. Ajax tool kit is cream to it. It has bright future in near year and far 5-7 years at-least.

I think Asp.Net is a rapidly growing platform. And Future of it is very bright. I hope in future it will support more languages.

Are you talking about the .net framework or more specifically the ASP.NET methodology of web site creation. In my opinion the .net framework is well supported MS and will be with us for a long time still.... As for the ASP.NET methodology for web site creation, well this is still heavily supported by MS however in they own unique style they have come up with other offerings such as MVC (which may not be for everyone) to act as competition. But over all I think it will still be here for a while. As with your C# question it’s all about support, the MS platform is still the most dominant and as long as MS support the product then it'll be here for some time to come...

Might be here till Microsoft drops!!

Undoubtedly. There is too much invested in the technology to let it die.
