Setting up your ASP.NET server (IIS)

  A guide that shows you how to install IIS server and configure it to work with ASP.NET, not just with ASP.

Before starting, be sure you have .NET Framework installed. If not, you can install it using Windows Update or download the package and install manually.

ASP runs inside IIS (Internet Information Services). Therefore first you should install IIS (under Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows 2003), of course if it isn't already installed.
Usually, you can install it from Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs / Add/Remove Windows Components.

Go to Start Menu / All Programs / Administrative Tools / Internet Information Services.
Choose your computer name (local computer) / Web Sites / Default Web Site.
Right click 'Default Web Site' and select 'Properties'. Choose the 'Home Directory' tab and type in the 'Local Path' the path to where you want your files to be stored. For example 'D:\Server\iis'. This is the root of your webserver, this folder will open when you type http://localhost in your web broswer.
Below, check the 'Script source access', 'Read', 'Write' and 'Directory browsing' values. Click OK and now let's start the server.

Click on the 'Start item' button to start the service. Be sure you don't have any other server running on localhost, Apache for example.

C# - Difference between Abstract class and Interface in Asp.Net

In previous article I explained complete OOPS Concept. Now I will explain differences between Abstract classes and Interfaces.

An Abstract class without any implementation just looks like an Interface; however there are lot of differences than similarities between an Abstract class and an Interface. Let's explain both concepts and compare their similarities and differences.

What is an Abstract Class?

An abstract class is a special kind of class that cannot be instantiated. So the question is why we need a class that cannot be instantiated? An abstract class is only to be sub-classed (inherited from). In other words, it only allows other classes to inherit from it but cannot be instantiated. The advantage is that it enforces certain hierarchies for all the subclasses. In simple words, it is a kind of contract that forces all the subclasses to carry on the same hierarchies or standards.
