CodeBehind Framework

CodeBehind is a modern back-end framework under ASP.NET Core. CodeBehind was developed by Elanat in 2023 and competes with Microsoft's default web frameworks (ASP.NET Core MVC and Razor Pages and Blazor). CodeBehind is an engineering masterpiece that simultaneously provides the possibility of development based on MVC, Model-View, Controller-View, only View and Web-Forms. The type of structure and naming in CodeBehind is a nostalgia that reminds of former Microsoft Web-Forms.

The aspx extension is the files of the view section in the CodeBehind framework and they supports standard syntax (<%=Standard%>) and Razor syntax (@Razor). This framework guarantees the separation of server-side codes from the design part (html) and there is no need to write server-side codes in the view.

Code Behind framework inherits every advantage of ASP.NET Core and gives it more simplicity, power, flexibility and has high serverside independence.

CodeBehind framework is an alternative to ASP.NET Core.

Why use CodeBehind?

Fast: The CodeBehind framework is faster than Microsoft's default web frameworks (ASP.NET Core MVC and Razor Pages).
Simple: Developing with CodeBehind is very simple. You can use MVC pattern or Model-View or Controller-View or only View.
Modular: It is modular. Just copy the new project files, including DLL and aspx, into the current published project (plug and play).
Get output: You can call the output of the aspx page in another aspx page and modify its output.
Under .NET Core: Your project will still be under ASP.NET Core and you will benefit from all the benefits of .NET Core.
Code-Behind: Code-Behind pattern will be fully respected.
Modern: CodeBehind is a modern framework with revolutionary ideas.
Understandable: View is preferable to Controller and there is no need to set Controllers in route.
Adaptable: The CodeBehind framework can even be used with Razor Pages and ASP.NET Core MVC.
Loose coupling: The different components of CodeBehind work independently of each other.
RAD: Everything is automated in CodeBehind framework, just focus on development.
WebForms Core technology: Supports a new and unique approach modeled after Microsoft's former WebForms.
Full Stack: Manage both back-end and front-end together; you can manage HTML tags from the server-side.

CodeBehind is .NET Diamond!

In every scenario, CodeBehind performs better than the default structure in ASP.NET Core.

Only view example

View section: aspx page (razor syntax)

@page
@{
    Random rand = new Random();
}

<div>
    <h1>Random value: @rand.Next(1000000)</h1>
</div>

View section: aspx page (standard syntax)

<%@ Page %>
<%
    Random rand = new Random();
%>

<div>
    <h1>Random value: <%=rand.Next(1000000)%></h1>
</div>

MVC example

View File: Default.aspx (razor syntax)

@page
@controller MyController
@model MyModel
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>@model.PageTitle</title>
</head>
<body>
    @model.BodyValue
</body>
</html>

View File: Default.aspx (standard syntax)

<%@ Page Controller="MyController" Model="MyModel" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title><%=model.PageTitle%></title>
</head>
<body>
    <%=model.BodyValue%>
</body>
</html>

Model File: Default.aspx.Model.cs

using CodeBehind;

public partial class MyModel : CodeBehindModel
{
    public string PageTitle { get; set; }
    public string BodyValue { get; set; }
}

Controller File: Default.aspx.Controller.cs

using CodeBehind;

public partial class MyController : CodeBehindController
{
    public void PageLoad(HttpContext context)
    {
        MyModel model = new MyModel();
        model.PageTitle = "My Title";
        model.BodyValue = "HTML Body";
        View(model);
    }
}

CodeBehind Configure in ASP.NET Core

Program File: Program.cs

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var app = builder.Build();

SetCodeBehind.CodeBehindCompiler.Initialization();

app.UseCodeBehind();

app.Run();
