Summary

This chapter introduced Web Forms, the new programming model in ASP.NET. As you have seen, the Web Form’s programming model is very familiar to Visual Basic or Visual C++ users. In ASP.NET, every page is compiled as a new System.Web.UI.Page object. The compiled version is cached in memory, resulting in a faster response after the first request.

When programming with Web Forms, you have HTML and web controls at your disposal. This chapter has shown you how to use each individual control for rapid development.
