What is the difference between CodeFile=”file.ascx.cs” and CodeBehind=”file.ascx.cs” in the declaration of a ASP.NET user control?
Is one newer or recommended? Or do they have specific usage?
CodeBehind: Needs to be compiled (ASP.NET 1.1 model). The compiled binary is placed in the bin folder of the website. You need to do a compile in Visual Studio before you deploy. It’s a good model when you don’t want the source code to be viewable as plain text. For example when delivering to a customer to whom you don’t have an obligation to provide code.
CodeFile: You provide the source file with the solution for deployment. ASP.NET 2.0 runtime compiles the code when needed. The compiled files are at Microsoft.NET[.NET version]\Temporary ASP.NET Files.
