    I am a IT consultant supporting medium size PLC in the UK. The IT department are querying the use of ASP.NET for this project. They ask why I don't use pure ASP, they say there are security implications when implementing any .NET application. I believe that there are security implications on any application exposed to the internet. Is this a reasonable argument, or can I implement a pure ASP application which is more secure than the equivelent ASP.NET application ?

Most new web sites are being developed in ASP.NET, older ones are being converted. It will simply be unprofitable for Microsoft to continue to support ASP classic as long as ASP.NET.

I would say ASP.NET is more secure and its security will continue to increase whereas classic ASP will not.

        http://www.tutorial-web.com/asp.net/index.aspx[^] Security beter on ASP.NET due to its precompiled nature similiar to COM objects. Theres prob tonnes more things but its a case of googling!
