ASP CODE BEHIND? Can someone explain what this is.

[ghost2]

I am trying to create a file similar to another set of files I have from another user. I am new to ASP.NET. What is the code behind file? I am in a new asp application project and I cant seem to figure out what this means.

are you using VS.Net? If not than what enviornment are you designing in? The code behind file is where your code is (vb, c++, c#), the aspx file is the web page (html) and style sheet is where you can keep your formating options (i've have used these yet) for the aspx file.

you can write all your code in the aspx file using the <% %> delimiters, but it's ulgy and cumbersome.

Ok so what I did was created a code behind file with a call to variables I needed to populate. Now I need I guess to create the HTML page that inherits this code. How can I do that?
