WebPages Folders

This lesson is part of ASP · All levels

Summary

Web Pages use a standard folder structure to make system files and configurations easy to manage. The App_Data folder stores the database, the App_Code stores the artificial classes and helpers, while the CSS, Scripts, and Images folders host static assets. By separating the files according to their role, the project stays neat and secure because sensitive content is not spread at the root.

Key points

App_Data is the location of database files such as SQL Server Compact or SQLite.
App_Code hosts class files, helpers, and automatically imported code.
The CSS, Scripts, and Images folders store static assets that are served directly by the server.
The web.config configuration file is placed in the root of the project.
