IMPLEMENTATION OF DATA ACCESS MECHANISMS IN WEB TECHNOLOGIES USING THE ASP.NET FRAMEWORK

This paper investigates the integration of data access mechanisms in web applications built

on the ASP.NET platform. The study traces the evolution of web technologies from static pages to

modern distributed systems, and examines how ASP.NET's three primary models — MVC, Web

Forms, and Web API — each address the challenge of data management differently. Performance,

scalability, and security serve as the primary evaluation criteria. Empirical benchmark results indicate

that a properly configured Web API endpoint can deliver up to twice the throughput of an equivalent

MVC endpoint under equal load conditions. The paper further explores the practical application of

the Repository pattern with DI containers, hybrid ORM strategies combining Entity Framework Core

with Dapper, asynchronous query execution, distributed caching, and database design principles as

complementary performance levers. Web Forms is identified as a legacy choice unsuitable for new

development, while Web API is recommended as the default architecture for modern applications

targeting mobile clients, single-page applications, and microservice environments.
