Jazz, All calls to the server whether it is asp.net or just html starts at the IIS server. The IIS server gets the call and depending on how the extensions are mapped determines how it will be processed in the system. For ASP.Net it starts at the IIS server and then it pushes it through a series of built-in http modules. This controls typically control the cache and sessions. Then once it pushes passed the http modules it goes to the asp.net handlers. These handlers, you can commonly see them in your web.config file, determine how the controls are going to be interpreted and how it is going to generate the output of the asp.net form being passed. Once that is done it passes it back up to the built-in http module and back to IIS where it will spew out the output to your browser. The asp.net handlers is a layer under the IIS so when you pull up a http page and view the source code you do not see the asp.net codes, only the html code. I hope I explained it well enough for you although I'm sure others can be more technically precise in the description of it. For more information and documentation on this matter I found this page which I think maybe helpful for you. http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/demos/printpage.aspx?path=/articles/011404-1.aspx rcp DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
