In this video, we will teach you how to configure and use Elanat's WebForms Core technology in ASP.NET MVC.
Is Blazor a Replacement for WebForms?
Microsoft officially presents it as such, but the technical reality is more nuanced:
- Blazor = Component-Based Framework
- WebForms = Event-Driven Page Model
These two are built on fundamentally different architectural philosophies.
📌 Blazor is not a technical replacement for WebForms; it is a strategic replacement.
Blazor is designed around a component-based architecture, whereas WebForms was built on a page-centric, event-driven model. Therefore, they cannot be considered equivalent.
The WebForms Core Perspective on Modern Architecture
WebForms Core does not “destroy” the separation between front-end and back-end;
it abstracts it.
Instead of forcing developers to build and maintain two separate projects using two different languages, this architecture turns the front-end into an execution layer that is controlled entirely from the server-side language.
In this approach, user interactions remain modern, dynamic, and refresh-free, while the complexity of managing front-end code is removed or hidden from the developer.
From AJAX to WebForms Core
Technologies like AJAX in 2005 created a major shift in web development by enabling data exchange without requiring a full page refresh.
WebForms Core can be seen as the most evolved continuation of that path — a transition from:
“Interaction without page refresh”
to
“Interaction without direct front-end coding.”
This is not merely a tooling change;
it represents a shift in development philosophy.
