ASP.NET Core vs CodeBehind

Thanks to breakthroughs in ROSLYN compiler and the efforts of the .NET COre developer team, code written in C# can reach speeds just a step behind C++.

Can run on Windows, Linux and Mac (also Visual Studio Code editor).

In .NET Core 2.1 and 3.0, new APIs are added that make it possible to write JSON APIs that require less memory, using Span<T> and UTF8 strings, and improve throughput of applications like Kestrel, ASP.NET Core web server. See also Utf8JsonReader.

Built-in middleware featuring: Authentication, Cookie policy, Health Check, MVC, Session etc.

Ability to host on IIS, Nginx, Apache, Docker, or self-host in your own process.

It is a very secure platform.

Both VS and VSCode are powerful free IDEs that are well integrated with ASP.net Core. VS Community also allows for commercial use for projects with less than 5 developers.

CodeBehind is a modern framework with revolutionary ideas.

Code-Behind pattern will be fully respected.

Your project will still be under ASP.NET Core and you will benefit from all the benefits of .NET Core.

You can call the output of the aspx page in another aspx page and modify its output.

It is modular. Just copy the new project files, including dll and aspx, into the current active project.

Developing with CodeBehind is very simple. You can use mvc pattern or model-view or controller-view or only view.

The CodeBehind framework is faster than the default structure of cshtml pages in ASP.NET Core.
