Moving a project from ASP.NET Core MVC to the CodeBehind Framework can bring a range of benefits that increase development efficiency and application performance. This article examines the benefits of such a migration and shows why CodeBehind is an attractive choice for developers.
An overview of the CodeBehind framework
CodeBehind is a modern framework built on a revolutionary MVC architecture that allows developers to use ASPX files in the ASP.NET Core environment. CodeBehind inherits many advantages from ASP.NET Core, while simplifying the project development process, giving it more flexibility. The Elanat team has developed important revolutionary ideas in the CodeBehind framework; WebForms Core technology, Return template capability and its amazing MVC architecture are part of Elanat team's ideas in this framework.
Key benefits of migrating to CodeBehind:
1. Simple and automatic
View is preferred to Controller and there is no need to set controllers in the path. The path of each View corresponds to the URL path. The Controller is determined in the View and the requests first reach the View and then an instance of the Controller class is created.
2. Flexible development patterns
CodeBehind supports several development patterns, allowing developers to choose how to structure their applications. Each part of the project can be adapted to MVC, Only View, Controller-View, Model-View and WebForms development patterns.
3. Improve performanc
CodeBehind Framework is designed for speed and has performance improvements that make it up to 40% faster than traditional ASP.NET Core configurations. This performance boost is especially beneficial for high-traffic applications, ensuring faster response times and improved user experience.
4. Modular architecture
Projects developed using CodeBehind are modular in nature. Each component can function as an independent web part, facilitating easier maintenance and scalability. Developers can add or change features without extensive rewriting, simplifying the development process.
5. Dynamic compilation
The framework supports dynamic compilation of ASPX files, which means changes can be made on the fly without having to completely restart the application. This feature is especially useful during development and debugging, as it allows for rapid iteration.
6. WebForms Core technology
WebForms Core is a new technology in the CodeBehind core where all web development is done on the server side. Of course, no pressure is added to the server and bandwidth, and the client automatically performs rendering operations in the front-end.
7. Access to final View class
When the project is deployed, the CodeBehind framework creates a final View class from all the View files and then compiles it. The final View class is added to the "code_behind/views_class.cs.tmp" path in the project.
8. Improved output control
With CodeBehind, developers have more control over the output produced by their applications. This framework allows changes to page outputs before being sent in an HTTP response, which provides flexibility that can be critical for dynamic content generation.
9. Support for multiple platforms
CodeBehind maintains compatibility with various platforms, including Linux, making it a versatile choice for deployment in a variety of environments. This cross-platform support ensures that teams can use their existing infrastructure without significant changes.
10. Community and ecosystem integration
Being part of the larger .NET ecosystem means CodeBehind benefits from community support and resources available to .NET developers. This integration enhances collaboration and provides access to a wealth of libraries and tools. CodeBehind inherits all the benefits of .NET.
11. Personalization options
In the CodeBehind framework, you have the ability to set many useful features. You can enable access without aspx extension for View files or change their directory path. You can specify the path of the error page and more practical settings.
12. Extensibility
CodeBehind enables developers to easily integrate additional features. For example, it allows adding .NET Core DLL libraries directly to the project, increasing performance without complicating the existing structure.
