Hi,
I need to make a small web-application and was thinking about doing it
in ASP.NET. Another developer (which is also network engineer) says it
is hazardous to run .NET on his IIS server.
He asks me why not do it in CGI which will be much faster and offers
more flexibility.
I thought ASP.NET was faster but I'm not sure. Can somebody give me
concrete benefits of using ASP.NET over CGI (and vice versa).
The application will need to connect to a SQL server and have some
comboboxes and a grid.

CGI is an older technology. CGI was practically the first way to produce
dynamic content for websites. CGI applications have quite a few drawbacks
ISAPI/ASP.NET applications. Speed/Performance and scalability being the
primary issues with CGI that the ISAPI technology addresses. There are a
number of frameworks that are built on top of the ISAPI technology. In other
words the primary engine is an ISAPI. They are (to name a few)
1. ASP
2, ASP.NET
3. Cold Fusion
4. Java Server Pages (JSP)
They all use ISAPI engines (and not CGI).

If he thinks its hazardous to run ASP.NET then he doesnt know what he is

Thanks for your answer, so performance is 1 benefit, any other?

There are too many to enumerate. How would you answer the question "What is
the benefit of a windowed 32-bit Operating System over DOS?" It's about the

You can read all about ASP.Net on the Microsoft web site. You might want to
start at http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/. I don't think you'll find much
of anything comparing ASP.Net to CGI, for the same reason that you won't
find anything comparing Windows Server 2003 to DOS. CGI is nearly obsolete.

I have an article on my website that talks about ISAPI or CGI/ASP. In my
tutorials section - Building ISAPI Applications using Delphi -
Articles -ISAPI versus CGI/ASP.
There was a great link to Microsoft's website (which is not valid anymore)
that clearly showed the performance difference between ISAPI, ASP and CGI
ISAPI/ASP.NET applications are typically multi-threaded and threads once
spawned are cached for re-use. With IIS most ISAPI frameworks (ASP.NET
included) can (and do) avail of thread pooling (using I/O completion ports)
which further improved performance and scalability.
On the one hand we are comparing the two frameworks. CGI versus ISAPI, and
yes, the primary benefits of ISAPI over CGI is performance and scalability.
On the other hand, built on top of this framework are tool sets such as
ASP.NET that are very extensive. CGI has no such framework. So productivity
is another advantage.
Plus due to the nature of CGI applications, they can't be debugged (set
break points, see values of variables etc.).
