The .ASP file extension is used by Microsoft`s IIS Web server for web page creation using the ASP model. It is used to create dynamic webpages interacting with databases and other data.
ASP stands for "Active Server Page". ASP scripting is a server-side scripting language based on the Microsoft VBScript scripting language. It allows developers to create web pages and applications with a certain level of interactivity. The ASP's pages are interpreted by the web server, and the generated data can be viewed in web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Explorer.
Functionality of ASP Files
ASP pages may include text, HTML, CSS, client-side scripting languages, and server-side scripting languages such as VBScript or JavaScript. These pages are usually stored on a web server, and they execute on the server before being sent to the user’s web browser. ASP pages are capable of dynamically accessing HTML elements and SQL databases. Users can programmatically define HTML components in an ASP page which will then be displayed in the user’s web browser.
Related File Extensions
Other similar technologies include .ASPX, XXW, .JSX, and .JSP, which are used for developing web applications with interactive features.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ASP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ASP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ASP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ASP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ASP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ASP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ASP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ASP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ASP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ASP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
