Internet Information Services (IIS) in Windows Server 2008 is a full-featured Web server with a fault-tolerant process model that increases the reliability of Web sites and applications. Web application services are provided by ASP.NET, which integrates directly with IIS.
ASP.NET exposes a set of classes to provide complete functionality for building and deploying dynamic, Web-based applications. The reusable server controls in ASP.NET make possible a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) style of declarative programming for building rich Web pages with less code.
