thanks for reply. i guess business modules that what i'm talking about. As i said before i read or see articlescomments etc. projects are created by modules. For example Product module shopping module etc. i guess for designing a structure like this i need to know design patterns properly. Thanks again.

Hello Sadi I am not sure whether you are talking about Http Modules/WCSF Modules/Business Modules. Anyway.. i think it is Business Modules in close probabilty. Based on the project we can categorize the classes into different modules. These modules would be a class library assembly files usually. Later the aspx page will call the appropriate dlls to get things done. We should make sure that manageability and reusability are two important things we achieve from business modules. The resuability factor ensures the module can be reused in a windows forms application as well for example. So the module should not contain Http or web references. Seeking Http Modules reference - they are .NET components implementing the System.Web.IHttpModule interface  they are mostly used for special system level purposes and rarely for business related needs.
