Cleaner Structure in WebForms Core 2

We at Elanat are working on version 2 of the WebForms Core technology.

In version 2, we added support for HTML comments instead of the web-forms tag; however, we still kept the web-forms tag. Also, in CodeBehind version 4.4, using the Control method writes the Action Control at the end of the HTML instead of adding the web-forms tag at the end of the HTML. This new structure helps to create a more structured and standardized initial request with HTML.

Example:

Using the web-forms tag in previous versions

...
</main>

</body>
</html>
<web-forms ac="EeButton1=onclick|/sse/event1|1|3000$[sln];EeButton2=onclick|/sse/event2|1|3000"></web-forms>

In this case, if the web-forms tag is added after the closing html tag, the browser will object to it and it is not standard.

Using HTML Comments in Version 2

...
</main>

</body>
</html>
<!--[web-forms]
EeButton1=onclick|/sse/event1|1|3000
EeButton2=onclick|/sse/event2|1|3000-->

As you can see, Action Controls are also included in the HTML in secondary requests, just as they are sent in secondary requests.

We will provide more information about version 2 of WebForms Core technology in the coming days.
