WebFormsisoneofthreeprogrammingmodelsforcreatingASP.NETwebsitesandWebapplications.

TheothertwoprogrammingmodesareWebPagesandMVC(ModelViewController).

Filestructure

Thecode-behindfilesofallWebFormspagesintheprojectarecompiledintoprojectdynamiclinklibrary(.dll)files.The.aspxpagefilewillalsobecompiled,butthecompilationmethodisslightlydifferent.Whenauserbrowsestoan.aspxpageforthefirsttime,ASP.NETautomaticallygeneratesa.NETclassfilethatrepresentsthepageandcompilesitintoanother.dllfile.Theclassgeneratedforthe.aspxpageinheritsfromthecode-behindclassthatiscompiledintotheproject's.dllfile.WhenauserrequeststheURLofaWebpage,the.dllfilewillrunontheserveranddynamicallygenerateHTMLoutputforyourpage.Formoreinformation,seeWebFormsPageHandling.

Webapplicationprogrammingbringssomespecialproblems.Whenprogrammingtraditionalclient-basedapplications,youusuallydon’tWillencountertheseproblems.Thesechallengesinclude:

  • Implementamulti-styleWebuserinterface.Forauserinterfacewithacomplexlayoutandalargeamountofdynamiccontentandfull-featureduserinteractionobjects,itwillbedifficultandlaborioustousebasicHTMLfunctionstodesignandimplement.Particularlydifficultistocreatemulti-styleuserinterfacesforapplicationsthatmayrunonmultipledifferentbrowsersandclientdeviceplatforms.

  • Theseparationofclientandserver.InaWebapplication,theclient(browser)andtheserveraredifferentprograms,andtheyusuallyrunondifferentcomputers(evenondifferentoperatingsystems).Therefore,thetwopartsthattogethermakeuptheapplicationshareverylittleinformation;theycancommunicate,butusuallyonlyexchangesmallpiecesofsimpleinformation.

  • Statelessexecution.Whenawebserverreceivesarequestforapage,itwillfindthepage,processit,sendittothebrowser,anddiscardallpageinformation.Iftheuserrequeststhesamepageagain,theserverrepeatstheentireprocess:reprocessingthepagefromthebeginning.Inotherwords,theserverwillnotrememberthepagesithasprocessed.Therefore,iftheapplicationneedstomaintaininformationaboutacertainpage,thisbecomesaproblemthatmustbesolvedintheapplicationcode.

  • Unknownclientfunction.Inmanycases,webapplicationscanbeaccessedbymultipleusersusingdifferentbrowsers.Browsershavedifferentfunctions,soitisdifficulttocreateanapplicationthatwillworkequallywellonallbrowsers.
