Hi.

I just finished Chapter 1 and I am greatly looking forward to the next chapter. However, just one outstanding question remains:

In Figure 1-4 I see "Default.aspx.cs" under the Default.aspx file. Is this the file where the programming code (C#, in this example) is placed if we choose to "place code in a separate file, called the Code Behind file"?

Thanks!

Yes. As you mentioned, if you check the box "Place code in a seperate file" when adding pages to your application the .cs or .vb files are added as sub elements of your .aspx file and are known as code behind files.

Yes. Any file that is names like this: <aspx/ascx file name>.cs (or .vb) is the codebehind file for the page when using the Code Behind selection.

Hi Peter,

As Doug and Peter pointed out, you are right. That's indeed the code behind file you see.

The section "Working with Web Forms", in chapter 2 (starting at page 47) digs much deeper into web forms and code behind files and shows you the differences between pages with code behind and pages with in-line code.

Cheers,

Imar
