Understanding the Layout of an ASP.NET Web Site
When you pick Visual Studio-provided templates other than ASP.NET Empty Web Site, Visual Studio
2012 offers many forms and components needed for most of the large web applications. To keep things
simple and help you stay focused, let's work with an empty web site, add a web form to it, and explore its
layout.
Open the Visual Studio 2012 IDE, and select File
New
Web Site. In the New Web Site dialog box,
select ASP.NET Empty Web Site as the project template, and then choose File System as the location and
Visual C# as the language, as shown in Figure 16-1. In the text box adjacent to the “Web location” drop-
down box, modify the path to the directory path, which indicates you are going to create a web site on
the file system with the name Chapter16. Click OK. After you create the project, it will open, as shown in
Figure 16-4.
