Is Blazor a Replacement for WebForms? ## The WebForms Core Perspective on Modern Architecture ## From AJAX to WebForms Core ## Related links In this video, we will teach you how to configure and use Elanat's WebForms Core technology in ASP.NET MVC. Microsoft officially presents it as such, but the technical reality is more nuanced: These two are built on fundamentally different architectural philosophies. 📌 Blazor is not a technical replacement for WebForms; it is a strategic replacement. Blazor is designed around a component-based architecture, whereas WebForms was built on a page-centric, event-driven model. Therefore, they cannot be considered equivalent. WebForms Core does not “destroy” the separation between front-end and back-end; it abstracts it. Instead of forcing developers to build and maintain two separate projects using two different languages, this architecture turns the front-end into an execution layer that is controlled entirely from the server-side language. In this approach, user interactions remain modern, dynamic, and refresh-free, while the complexity of managing front-end code is removed or hidden from the developer. Technologies like AJAX in 2005 created a major shift in web development by enabling data exchange without requiring a full page refresh. WebForms Core can be seen as the most evolved continuation of that path — a transition from: “Interaction without page refresh” “Interaction without direct front-end coding.” This is not merely a tooling change; it represents a shift in development philosophy.
