Are aspx pages compiled?

[Terry Jolly]

Are aspx pages compiled or interpative (like asp) or some of combination of
the two?

Thanks In Advance

They are compiled when they are first requested and the runtime does things
with them for you, serving the results of a page request from the compiled
dll's.

Not entirely accurate. The actual ASPX page itself is not compiled, but
the code behind (and any embedded code in the ASPX page) are.

Yes, to MSIL which is not native machinelanguage (and decompileable).
Just to make it more clear..
