Summary
In this chapter, we've explored the process of getting a Web request into the machine, and we followed it from IIS through the various stages of page compilation.IIS first gets the request and figures out which ISAPI program will process the page. In the case of ASP.NET, it makes its way to aspnet_isapi.dll and is processed.ASP.NET compiles pages in one of several different physical file schemes and caches that code for execution in other requests. Of the different schemes possible, inline code and code-beside are the easiest and most practical means of writing and maintaining code.The pre-compilation performed by the publishing utility can ease deployment by hiding your code, checking for errors, and avoiding the first-run compilation process on the first request.
