| AASTHA sees its mission as helping businesses to take advantage of .NET value propositions, better integration, cross-platform compatibility, and lower IT costs. To stay abreast of ever evolving field of technology AASTHA has been following the developments by Microsoft via our R&D team. As a result, the company has been involved with Microsoft .NET from grounds up and has accumulated rich experience now in .net based project execution. The focus is on helping the clients with planning, migration, development, QA, and support of any.NET based technology. |

| Advantages of .NET: |
- Fewer Development Paradigms To Learn:
Office macro development requires you to learn a development paradigm using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Web application development requires you to learn another development paradigm using a different set of development languages, such as Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) or Microsoft JScript®. If you need to call the Microsoft Windows® Application Programming Interface (API), you have to learn yet another development paradigm. Microsoft .NET consists of one development paradigm for both desktop and Web-based applications, which reduces the number of new Microsoft development technologies you need to learn.
- Easier And Faster Application Deployment:
One big frustration for Office developers is application deployment and version. If you ask an Office developer about distributing macros, deploying Microsoft Outlook ® Forms, registering dynamic-link libraries (DLL's), or updating Component Object Model (COM) add-ins, you are bound to get complaints.
For many .NET applications, .NET features "copy and paste" or XCOPY deployment (users simply copy your application files from the source media to any single directory and run the application). Finally, .NET no longer relies on the Windows registry or regsvr32.exe, which eliminates DLL and COM add-in version compatibility issues.
- New Types Of Office Solutions:
Office VBA solutions development is currently restricted to macros, User Forms, or Outlook Forms applications, and Web projects such as data access pages, Microsoft Front Page ® Web sites, applications interacting with the Microsoft Office Web Components, and static HTML pages. Office VBA has made advances into the .NET world by integrating with XML Web services through the SOAP Toolkit, as well as integrating with the Microsoft Windows Server System™, such as Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server™, and Microsoft Biz Talk™ Server. However, additional types of applications in .NET include richer desktop-based applications with custom user controls, Web form–based applications with custom Web controls, .NET Framework class libraries, command-line applications, and Windows background services. In the years ahead, Visual Basic .NET will also be the language of choice for Office developers to create digital dashboard solutions, solutions based on Share Point™ Team Services and Share Point Portal Server, Web Parts, smart tags, XML-based solutions, and more.
