What is this?

[Shapper]

Hello,

What is the following code created by Visual Studio inside every code
inside na aspx.vb file?

#Region " Web Form Designer Generated Code "

'This call is required by the Web Form Designer.
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub
InitializeComponent()

End Sub

'NOTE: The following placeholder declaration is required by the Web
Form Designer.
'Do not delete or move it.
Private designerPlaceholderDeclaration As System.Object

Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
'CODEGEN: This method call is required by the Web Form Designer
'Do not modify it using the code editor.
InitializeComponent()
End Sub

#End Region

Thanks,
Miguel

Well, it's fairly self explanatory.
It's code generated by Visual Studio that Visual Studio needs to be able to
work with the form properly.
It's best to not mess with this code.

In Visual Studio 2005 that messy code will be automatically tucked away as
it probably always should have been.

Thanks,

I am using Web Matrix because in my opinion is less messy and confusing.
But I also have Visual Studio so I went there to check what VB code was
generated at start and I wasn't sure about that piece.

Thanks Once Again,
Miguel

Web Matrix is slowly dying.
I'd suggest you switch to one of the Visual Studio flavors.
This is comparable to web matrix:
