I know this maybe a too generic question but since a customer user control uses front end markup usually is that considered as a front end component or is it considered backend programming?
In other words how would you define a custom user control?
UPDATE :
In my deliniation of web programming there is a set number of components:
- Front end that is served upto the user
- Backend which is manipulated by the server and depending on logic can change the front end
Since a Custom User control can have this logic defined within itself I was wondering if it could be considered frontend in its strictest sense.
Custom controls are part of the UI.
Thus, they are front-end.
In poorly-designed projects, they may also contain back-end logic.
