Question Will there be ASP.NET (dotNet) versions of XCENT's applications?

Answer Currently all currently available versions of XCENT's web server software and application are written in "classic ASP" and are not yet available in an ASP.NET version. Classic ASP is the predecessor to the ASP.NET platform for dynamic or interactive web site development on Microsoft's IIS web server.

However, we are already migrating all of our web server applications and software to native ASP.NET versions. There are no current release dates scheduled for these .NET versions. Any changes or notifications of the scheduled release dates for our .NET applications will appear here first.

Additionally, if you are not entirely sure of the differences between the ASP.NET and classic ASP, we've listed a few important points.
  1. Classic ASP is still 100% fully supported by Microsoft on IIS web servers despite the availability of ASP.NET and will continue to be supported for quite some time. It is still included and supported in the upcoming versions of Microsoft Windows Server that are still in development (i.e. Windows Vista Server).
  2. Classic ASP is a proven reliable platform due to its longevity. It is one of the oldest and most mature active web application development platforms in widespread use.
  3. Classic ASP will co-exist and interoperate just fine on the same server with ASP.NET. There are no limitations to using classic ASP and ASP.NET code or applications on the same server. There is absolutely no inherent disadvantage or performance problem in doing so.
