Is it possible that when I right click inside a webpage and go to Properties I see in the URL address ..../COMPANIES/Companies.aspx?mode=INIT but in reality it's a different aspx (..../US_COMPANIES/US_Companies.aspx?mode=INIT)?
Side note: The reason why I ask this is that I looked into the .cs page (Companies.aspx.cs according to Properties) but I didn't find the method definitions I was expecting to see, but I did find them in US_Companies.aspx.cs.
If there is enough detail in this question to make reasonable assumptions, I thank you. Please revert if I can make my question clearer. I am in the process of picking up a new project (inherited). Thanks a lot.
So the main question is how to find out for certain the aspx of a webpage and is it possible it's not always straight forward? Newbie in ASP.NET here.

Ok, so maybe my search syntax is wrong here, this could have very well been covered in stackoverflow but i've been unable to find anything after hours of searching. Be warned, I am a novice developer when it comes to this type of stuff and would appreciate any guidance, help or pointers to accomplish the goal. I'm open to suggestions of any type! :)
So, I have a site http://www.animetip.com
On this site we have a popular feature called a "jump menu" which allows a user to quickly navigate directly to the page which contains the anime series they would like to see an episode in. Essentially we have every series on the site (over 1000) broken down in an a-z list. When a user hovers over a letter, the menu will drop down and display all series that begin with that letter. A user can then go to the series they'd like to view and click on it to go directly to the page.
The issue with this is SEO. We are being penalized due to the number of links on the page. What we need to accomplish is the same (or better) functionality while reducing the links loaded in the page. If we could come up with a way to create the menu and have the link itself not be served until its clicked on I believe that would resolve the issue.
What is the best strategy for doing this? I am no expert by any means, but I was thinking that putting all the links in mySQL and then calling the link as its clicked would be ok, but a friend cautioned me that it would cause a performance hit. I have also reviewed material which indicates you can do the same thing using an array to store the links and then call them as they are needed using PHP. I grasp the concept of doing that but could use a stub type example to get me started.
The site is built on Wordpress with a completely custom template / theme.
Someone has commented that the topic wasn't researched. Unfortunately I've spent lots of time researching it, the problem is that I think I'm using the wrong terminology to describe what I need to find. If anyone would care to give me the terminology or a good place to conduct further research (even a few keywords!) I will be MORE than happy to go do that.
Thank you for any help or tips to information I can learn from!

Try using ajax so that the links are not visible in the actual source code and while clicking the a,b,c links it will call a separate php file and display the output from the db on the fly. I hope this will resolve your issue. Thanks
ASP.NET, web form model.
Is there any sample code/site that demonstrate a couple samples for regular website patterns/ templates? Like if I want to use tab to switch between different pages, should I put the code in a single page or in different page, and treat each tab as a page.
Or if in a search page (just a single search bar and button), should I display my result panel in same page using dynamically enable the result panel, or just to another page?
I want to find a general design pattern/ template. Please advise, thanks.
I don't know if this answer will be helpful to you or not. Correct me if I am wrong.
You are specifying demonstration about web designing. It seems the functionality you want is clearly saying to choose from weather you want to use AJAX or not. I suggest why don't you use jQuery Framework for all this functionality.
I would give this a read and consider what best fits your application and your programming style, no one size fits all with paterns.

After you have a general idea, head over to google.com and look for the patterns that catch your eye for simple tutorials
Edit:
For the specific question about whether you should modularize your code. The answer is almost always yes. If you think there is a chance that the component will be used somewhere else then doing this a head of time can save you a lot of headache later. This practice also makes maintaining a lot easier because it gives a clear scope of what could be causing a bug. Instead of having to look threw an entire page of unrelated code for things changing state unexpectedly in the page life cycle.
Let's say I'm on a list page and I
page to, say, page 10. Then I select
a record on that page and redirect to detail
page. After that, I click on the edit
to redirect to the edit page.
After I update the record I'm redirected back to
the detail page. I, then, press back
to go back list to continue my browsing from
where I left off. The key here is
where I left off in the list which is
page 10.
What is the best way to handle this?
Initially, I put a hidden field called page number in each of the webforms and pass it along with the querystring back and forth. Seemed like a lot or a bit redundant checking the querystring on each page and passing it.
I was wondering if there are some other ways. for instance, I've been reading about a separation between the UI and the presentation layer is a good idea (for larger scale apps). To me I understand it as all click handler events will yield control over to the presentation layer which is just a plain class?
Is this correct? Also, is the presentation layer suppose to implement something particular? I know this could probably be saved in session but could someone humor me and show me how to use a presentation layer to handle this (I know it would be overkill but is it possible?)
I don't think there is THE best way. Everything depends of what you achieve to do, ie. the requirements of the whole project.
After all, according to the description, I don't even understand why are you having three pages to do a single thing. By the way, ASP.NET data controls handle mostly everything for you, so you don't even have to ask yourself how to do this (except if you have serious reasons to avoid ASP.NET controls).
For example, a simple <asp:ListView /> will let you list items page per page and show details when a single item is selected. Edition of an element is also quite easy.
What you are asking for is well... large and could span multiple blog posts to give a complete understanding of UI Design Patterns.
I have a small example of MVP with Asp.Net here: What is the best way to reuse pages from one website in another?
However, it is not exhaustive. If you really want information on this you should do some looking into a framework such as WebForms MVP, or ASP.Net MVC.
Check out ASP.NET MVC. It is a framework which goes on top of ASP.NET to do the separation between the presentation layer and business layer.
For simplicity, what you are describing is a very good example of the perfect place to use Asp.Net Dynamic Data.
It's incredibly easy and powerful, and easy to modify once you dig into it a bit. I'd start with the videos here: http://www.asp.net/dynamicdata
I've been using this more and more on every project, for at least the simple CRUD portion of it. I really can't express how much I love this tool now that I'm used to it.
I am generating an aspx page which then I need to convert to png and store it somewhere.
A similiar situation with mine was asked before here but got still no response. I tried also the code that the Swapnil Fegade has asked but the code is looping continually making request to loading page and no conversion is actually being done.
I found some solutions on the web also but they require WebBrowser control which i understood can be used in windows form but i am building a web project.
Can you give me any hint or suggest any article that shows a full example doing this task.
Thank you guys in advance.
This one seems to do what you want:

Does anyone know much about the Asp.Net webconfig element ?
I'm looking at it because I'm implementing an MS Ajax updatepanel in an existing site,
and after doing some looking around, on the web I'm not finding a lot of info about it.
And to avoid the flood of replies telling me how inefficient the update panel is, and that it's not actually providing any benefit etc. etc. I know! Let's say I've got my reasons for using it and leave it at that.
I guess my main question is;, will setting enableCompression="true" and enableCaching="true" help the performace of my update panel in any way?
Given the traversing of the DOM that is actually happening with an update panel it's generally not the content that is hindering performance.. it is the PC/Browser.
I know this is exactly what you aren't looking for but unless your panel contains a significant amount of data then compression and caching isn't going to help you terribly.
I took this from the scriptresourcehandler documentation:
By default, the ScriptResourceHandler class compresses and caches embedded script files for Internet Explorer 7.
So I don't think you'll see any difference if you set enableCompression/enableCaching true because it's already happening if you're using IE7.
