Developing Web Forms
Web forms represent the user interface element to a web application. Traditionally with .NET, the term web form is used to refer specifically to pages processed dynamically on the server (using ASP.NET). We use a broader definition here and use the term to refer to any web page, static or dynamic, that can be developed and designed within the Visual Studio IDE.
The HTML designer (also referred to as the web designer) is the sister application to the Windows Forms and WPF designers; it allows you to visually design and edit the markup for a web page. As with the two client application designers, it works in conjunction with the HTML designer and source view to cover all the bases needed for web page design. We cover the entire web application development process in depth in Part V, “Building Web Applications”; the following sections cover the basics of the web designers and editors.
