Inline Code or Code behind
-
Ok this might look like a programming question but its not, its more on the concept, you decide I am wondering is there any advantage for using "Inline Code" to "Code Behind" in ASP.NET. For last few years i have been doing code behind but recently an increasingly degree of online samples (community server/ asp.net starter kits etc) are using inline code ? What is the prime advantage of that ? Microsoft created code behind, but they themselves are not using it ??? :confused: Can you send me a well documented code as soon as possible, wait... don't vote me down , that was a joke

i just assume they're lazy: it's easier to post one file than two. code behind is better. anyone who disagrees is wrong.

Universal DBA | Ajax Rating | ExplorerTree | Globalization in 20 minutesI have heard that the performance is suppose to be the same nowadays (not so a while back). That said though, I see the use of code behind much cleaner than combining your pesentation and code in the same pages. Personally, I think it is just lazy programming to combine them.

Well i think, that would be a gross generalization, If you do think like that, What do you think is advantage of using code behind rather than inline code other than number of files ? or if we do assume there is some "advantage behind" using inline code , What could that be ?

the increased separation of logic and presentation is nice.

Universal DBA | Ajax Rating | ExplorerTree | Globalization in 20 minutesThe reason they use inline is because its easier to explain the tutorial. If they used code behind for an example they would have to explain what code behind is, why to use it, ect. for each example they use it in. Rather then going that route they simple use inline. Stick to the phrase KISS (keep it simple studpid) when it comes to tutorials. Their is no real performance difference is more of a preference, separating presentation from code.

Universal DBA | Ajax Rating | ExplorerTree | Globalization in 20 minutesFrom a declarative programming perspective, regardless of ASP.NET or not, I've decided I prefer code behind. The whole point is to keep a clean separation between the imperative and declarative code, and inline code, while a cute feature, I've found isn't useful. Marc

thats great But it seems to me that there is some unique advantage of using inline code for a much bigger web applications. The whole .Net community are doing that in each and every samples, There has to be something very simple and explainable. just a feeling i have since last week.

Universal DBA | Ajax Rating | ExplorerTree | Globalization in 20 minutesProgammers debate the difference while web designers curse the programmers who do inline code. Separating interface and implementation is still a great idea no matter how much contempt .NET has for it. Examples use inline because it's easier to explain that way.

Universal DBA | Ajax Rating | ExplorerTree | Globalization in 20 minutesInline code if either there is no UI (eg a pass-through page) ot the UI is something like "<%@ Page inherits=...%> (and nothing else), or the only code is a very small snippet that, say, overrides OnLoad and sets a value or two. My rule of thumb: only separate the code and design if there's code and design that needs separating.

Universal DBA | Ajax Rating | ExplorerTree | Globalization in 20 minutesIn my experience the use of inline code is a combination of laziness, perceived performance improvement and power grabbing. It is easier and the more you use it, the more you force your view of the interface on the designers.

Maybe they are being :baaaa!:? Use the tools as best it makes sense for your particular application, not because everyone else is cutting and pastingdoing it a particular way

How is having more files an advantage ? Seperating HTML from code is essential to being able to do any sort of layout and being able to maintain code.

Less confusing for people who don't get OO, perhaps ?
