ASP.NET OUTPUT

How ASP.NET Web Pages are Processed

The Browser Makes an HTTP Request for an ASP.NET Web Page

The Web Server Receives the HTTP Request

Examining the ASP.NET Engine

The ASP.NET engine is often referred to as the ASP.NET HTTP pipeline, because the incoming request passes through a variable number of HTTP modules on its way to an HTTP handler. HTTP modules are classes that have access to the incoming request.

Module:
Modules can inspect the incoming request and make decisions that affect the internal flow of the request.

HTTP handler:

     Its job is to generate the output that will be sent back to the requesting browser

Generating the Output

The final step is for the suitable HTTP handler to generate the appropriate output. This output, then, is passed back through the HTTP modules and then back to IIS, which then sends it back to the client that initiated the request.
