A number of files fall in the Web Files category, including .aspx files (Web Forms that end up
as pages in the web browser), .html files (that contain static HTML for your site), .css files (that
contain cascading style sheet information), and .config files (that contain configuration information
for the website). Refer to the table with the different file types in Chapter 2 for a complete list
of files.

then browse for the item(s) you want to add.
Secondly, you can drag and drop files from File Explorer or Windows Explorer or from your
desktop directly into a VS website. As a third alternative, you could put the files directly in the
site’s folder using Windows Explorer. For example, files you add to the folder C:\BegASPNET\Site
become part of your website automatically. If you don’t see the new files appear in VS directly, click
the Refresh icon on the Solution Explorer toolbar.
Exercise 4 Solution
In VS, you have three different views on your code: Design View, Markup View (also referred to as
Source View or Code View), and Split View. The first gives you an impression of how your web page
is going to look in the browser, and the second view shows you the raw markup. Split View enables
you to see both views at the same time. VS also has different views for other files. For example,
programming code for an ASPX page is generally referred to as the Code Behind view or simply the
Code Behind.
