One of the strengths of ASP.NET is that you can very well separate
programmatic logic code from the presentation layer. The technique is
called code-behind. Each page you write(.aspx file) is compiled into a
"Page"-derived class. So you can have an intermediate class between the
"Page" class and the class generated from the .aspx file. You can add
fields, methods and event handlers in your code-behind class and have these
inherited by the class created from the .aspx file. This removes a lot of
code from the .aspx file.
The C# file should inherit from System.Web.UI.Page.
You will have to have something like this in your .aspx file:
<%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="Somefile.aspx.cs"
Inherits="Namespace.ClassName" %>

You can write methods in "Somefile.aspx.cs" and access it in
"Somefile.aspx". You can also handle events in your .cs file.
The Codebehind attribute is added so that the C# source is compiled whenever
the page is compiled. Alternatively, you can remove this attribute and
compile your C# class into an assembly and place it in the /bin directory of
the application.

Hope this helps.
