    HTML, WebForms help?

    Hey guys,

    I'm writing a relatively simple web application and i noticed that on Visual Studio you can choose between "Web Forms" and "HTML." If i did everything in Web Forms would the processing overhead be huge? What exactly is the difference?

    cheers

    I can't say for certain as I don't use VS but from the sound of it HTML is a static HTML page and web form would be an ASP.NET page with server-side code. And no the processing overhead isn't huge or no one would use ASP.NET!

    Webforms controls are nothing but HTML controls with a few added 'features'. In the end they are rendered as html controls, with just a little more overhead. The overhead I talk about is, for example, the viewstate information being sent on every roundtrip, etc.
