Code behind

Do you all use the code behind technique, or do you embed your asp.net commands in the .aspx page?

I always use code behind, I enjoy keeping my classes, bjects and functions in its own file, this is the more OOP approach and one that I find the best when it comes to adding to and editing code as it's easy to find what you want to change.

I use code-behind only and never mix HTML with server-side ASP.NET code. It's cleaner this way, and you don't have to deal with spaghetti code anymore Smile

Same here. That is what I hated about plain asp.
It's like writing javascript rather than a server side programming language.

It saves you a heck of alot of time having all that code in one or two files and seperate from your HTML mess! Smile

I use code behind too. The asp code itself is alreadly so messy. If the vb codings are added, it will be confusing and chaotic. Confused

Well that can depend on your coding technique Smile

It can be possible to use inline code if its a very small application or a few web pages.
At times like that, code behind can be overkill.

Does anyone know which takes longer for the server to process - code behind or inline code?
