• ASP.NET Pages. These pages determine the look of the store. They include Web forms and ASP.NET controls through which visitors to the store conduct their business with the store: browsing through the product catalog, collecting items in the shopping cart, and finally checking them out and paying for them.
• Business logic code. This is the code that does the processing behind the scenes, in the store's back room. The .NET framework supports several scripting languages to write this business logic code: C#, VB, and, of course, JScript .NET.
• Microsoft SQL database. IBuySpy Store uses the MSSQL database technology to store the data about the spy equipment, customers, and orders. The .NET framework provides a set of classes (ADO.NET) to interface with the MSSQL database, from the above scripting languages.
