    Eh? Don't you have to recompile too when you change the code even using inline coding? The only time you don't need to recompile is if you change the HTML (excluding the ASP.Net controls), AFAIK.

        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

        Ok , i did find out the reason and i must say its revolutionary and ofcourse a refreshing approach and its not just laziness i know a lot of you might not agree but see this, you might rediscover the inline code ADVANTAGES OF INLINE CODE 1. Deploying single web pages to a server without recompiling the entire solution, That is the BEST ADVANTAGE of inline code YES IF YOU USE YOUR COMPLETE project as inline code this is possible 2. Making localized edits to single pages that take effect in real time. 3. A single file that contains both code and markup in one convenient self-contained package and it loads independently without a need of a web.dll We all know you have to compile the whole web.dll if you use the Code behind but , THIS is FAR more easy to Deploy and Maintain DISADVANTAGES OF INLINE CODE 1. Spaghetti code 2. Extremely limited intellisense 3. Crappy debugging There are definetly some great advantage too if it is done properly I think atleast these could be reason for all those online samples to be inline code

              Thats true With Page level pre-compile and Full runtime compilation, deployment has become a breeze in 2.0 but you will be surprised to know that The default in VS 2005 is "code behind" but can be changed to "inline coding" And VS 2005 not only supports single-file development with inline coding, but has also added/enhanced intellisense support for the inline code in single page development

                This evening or tomorrow, i'll probably be writing a small ASPX page with no codebehind, just to add an RSS feed for a DB table. It's... a page of code. Why bother opening two files?

                  It seems the insurance industry is 2-4 years behind the times. If it works, why change it? They'll only switch when they find out they need a particular feature not offered by the current version.

                      Think about it, it's kinda obvious. --- edit: Ok, seems no one else pointed this out so maybe it's not so obvious, but it's a hell of a lot easier to post a working sample on a message board when it's inline.

                        Yes, the idiotic naming decision raises its head again. ".NET 3.0" is .NET 2.0 plus what was going to be called WinFX. The CLR is still version 2.0. WinForms is still version 2.0. ASP.NET is still version 2.0. The new bits are Avalon Windows Presentation Foundation, Indigo Windows Communication Foundation and Windows Workflow Foundation. If you're only doing ASP.NET, there isn't even any point installing ".NET 3.0" runtime components.

                          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.
