ASP.NetPage

ASP.Net - CodeFile vs CodeBehind

CodeFile (asp.net 1.1)

  • includes a namespace
  • public partial (Introduced in 2005)
  • doesn’t use the designer.vb file

CodeBehind (introduced with asp.net 2.0)

  • Inherits=”SiteMaster” not needed on code behind (optional)(supposedly)
  • Uses a designer.vb file
  • when creating a new form
    • the helloworld.aspx says Inherits=”ui.HelloWorld”.
    • the helloWorld.aspx.vb does not have a namespace statement.
    • public class HelloWorld
  • when creating a master page
    • the site1.master has Inherits=”ui.site1”.
    • the site1.master.vb does not have a namespace statement.
    • Public Class Site1
