M Micheal Feb 7, 2006 #1 Hi, asp means Active Server Pages what does aspx stands for ? Regards Micheal
P Patrice Feb 7, 2006 #2 I believe this is because ASP+ was the very first name of the project that finally gave ASP.NET. The x is just a rotated +. At least this is my theory ;-)

At least this is my theory ;-) Click to expand... Good theory, and similar to the theory that "C#" stands for C++ ++ . "asp" stands for "active server page". "ash" stands for "active server handler". "asc" stands for "active server control". I assume that the "x" has simply been added to make visible that .NET is used, which is a bad choice by the way (hide implementation details!).
