What is the difference between a web form and a web page?


Asked by Leia Hutchinson on Dec 14, 2021 Web Services



A web form produces a web page. Or many web pages. A web page is just a loose concept of a "document". A web form is a type of object which can produce web pages. Adding to your answer, suppose you want your webform to have 3 webpages. How do you add new webpages to your webform in MS Visual Studio 2012.
In addition,
To access a website, type its domain name in your browser address bar, and the browser will display the website's main web page, or homepage (casually referred as "the home"): The ideas of a web page and a website are especially easy to confuse for a website that contains only one web page.
Furthermore, MVC focuses on separation of concern, i.e., there is no fixed code behind page for every view. A view can be called from multiple action. Web form based on functions and page behind code, i.e., there is code behind page for each view. You have to write code in that class related to this view only.
Consequently,
Webform is simply a html form, basically a collection of DOM elements and functions as per the specifications of W3C. However asp.net added unique features to it like view state, postback etc., Webforms are platform independent i.e works on a thin client like web browser, stateless client server architecture.
Also Know,
Web forms are used to capture important information of a new visitor on your web page or website. They will provide with the information of someone coming to your site and taking an action such as signing up, subscribing for a newsletter etc.
