WebPages Intro

ASP.NET Web Pages (often referred to simply as "WebPages") provide a lightweight framework for building dynamic web content. They utilize the Razor syntax, making it easy to mix server-side C# or VB code with HTML.

Key Topics

Why WebPages?

WebPages is ideal for smaller projects or for those getting started with ASP.NET. It offers a simpler project structure compared to MVC or WebForms, allowing you to write page-focused logic with minimal overhead.

Hello World Example

Example

@{
    var message = "Hello, WebPages!";
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>WebPages Intro</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>@message</h1>
</body>
</html>

Output

Hello, WebPages!

Explanation: This basic example shows how to embed C# variables using Razor syntax @{ } and display them in the HTML body. When the page is requested, the server processes the code block and injects the result into the HTML.

Benefits & Features

  • Easy to learn: Razor syntax is concise and straightforward.
  • Lightweight: Perfect for simple or content-focused sites.
  • Integrates well with databases, helpers, and other .NET features.

Key Takeaways

  • WebPages focuses on simplicity, making it beginner-friendly.
  • Razor syntax cleanly separates server-side logic from the HTML structure.
  • Great for prototyping and smaller-scale web applications.
