Chapter 2: CodeBehind and CodeInline

mohamad · June 19th, 2014, 11:13 PM

Hello to all fellow programmer,

CodeBehind Files

1. The file are created and named after the master.aspx file with additional extension *.vb or *.cs
and are store in the same folder as the master file.

Can we place the file or our customised CodeBehind files to a different folder from the master file
and provide the linkage to all this files as and when needed using <a href), is this a good idea?

CodeInline Files

1. The file are embedded in the master.aspx and its content are stored under the <script> tag.

Am I saying it right, or the content can also be stored in other HTML elements apart from the script?

Thank you very much.

Cheers
Mohamad

Nope, it's not, and it's not how it works. Neither the Master File nor its code behind ever make it to the browser. They serve to define the presentation and behavior of other pages (Content Pages) only and are never used at the client. As such you cannot link to them.

>> The file are embedded in the master.aspx and its content are stored under the <script> tag.

Well, the *code* should be in a Script element. All other content can be in other places in the page like inside a <head> or <body> element.

>> Am I saying it right, or the content can also be stored in other HTML elements apart from the script?

Other content can, but the server side code cannot.

Cheers,

Imar

Thanks Imar,

1. Can we have many code behind files for the master file?

a. And if possible how's the naming convention for the additional files for the
master to take precedence?

Cheers,
Mohamad

A master page only has a single code behind file. .net supports the concept of partial classes that allows you to split complex classes into multiple files. However you typically don't have a lot of code behind the master page so I don't think that partial classes are a good fit in this scenario.
