I read some small articles about Visual studio 2012 and the new features.

But I’m really confused about this concept :

Answer 1

ASP.NET Web pages, known officially as Web Forms, are the main
building block for application development. Web forms are contained
in files with a “.aspx” extension; these files typically contain
static (X)HTML markup, as well as markup defining server-side Web
Controls and User Controls where the developers place all the rc
content for the Web page. Additionally, dynamic code which runs on the
server can be placed in a page within a block <% — dynamic code —
%>, which is similar to other Web development technologies such as
PHP, JSP, and ASP. With ASP.NET Framework 2.0, Microsoft introduced a
new code-behind model which allows static text to remain on the .aspx
page, while dynamic code remains in an .aspx.vb or .aspx.cs or
.aspx.fs file (depending on the programming language used).

The number refers to the Version.
