.ASPX File Type
File extension: ASPX or .aspx
Author of the .aspx file extension: Microsoft Corporation
Category: Web file
Programs that use the .aspx file type: Created with the ASP.NET Framework. Can be viewed in any Web browser.
Explanation of .aspx file extensions:
The .aspx file extension stands for Active Server Page Extended. These files represent a server-generated Web page that is based on ASP.NET’s Framework and ActiveX scripting. First, the ASP code is processed on the Web server. Next, the resulting HTML code is sent to the Web browser. When you see a Web page with an URL ending in ".aspx," you are seeing an Active Server Page Extended.
The ASPX file usually contains static HTML or XHTML markup along with markup defining Web Controls and Web User Controls. This is where the developers have programmed all of the required static and dynamic content for the particular Web page. Dynamic code that the server runs can also be placed in a page within a block in much the same way as PHP, JSP, and ASP are place. This isn’t generally considered good practice, however because it requires more calls when rendering the page.
Typical problems associated with the .aspx file extension:
One of the most common problems with .aspx files is poor performance. These pages can become quite complex and often access DLLs located on the Web server. Users are often logged out or lose session states.
Solutions/Recommendations:
As a Web browser, there’s little that you can do when encountering an .aspx file that isn’t performing. Long page loading delays and lost session states can be frustrating and can try your patience.
Since the dynamic .aspx files can contain destructive code, it’s important to keep your computer protected against potential threats. If your computer’s overall performance is degrading, it’s not a bad idea to run a registry cleaning utility from time to time.
