code-behind

A technique in object-oriented programming in which the visual and back-end source code are stored in separate files, allowing designers and programmers to work independently. Code-behind is a technique used in Microsoft programming platforms, including ASP.NET and XAML, where the practice is facilitated by separating the visual and code aspects through the use of partial classes.
