This series of tutorials guides you through the steps required to create an ASP.NET Web Forms application using Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web and ASP.NET 4.5.
The application you'll create is named Wingtip Toys. It's a simplified example of a store front web site that sells items online. This tutorial series highlights new features available in ASP.NET 4.5.
The specific latest ASP.NET 4.5 features provided in this Web Forms tutorial series include the following:
- A simple UI for creating projects that offer support for multiple ASP.NET frameworks (Web Forms, MVC, and Web API).
- Bootstrap, a layout and theming framework that provides responsive design and theming capabilities.
- ASP.NET Identity, a new ASP.NET membership system that works the same in all ASP.NET frameworks and works with web hosting software other than IIS.
- Entity Framework 6, an update to the Entity Framework which allows you retrieve and manipulate data as strongly typed objects, access data asynchronously, handle transient connection faults, and log SQL statements.
For a complete list of ASP.NET 4.5 features, see ASP.NET and Web Tools for Visual Studio 2013 Release Notes.
