Can anyone tell me whats the difference between logical pages and physical
pages and how are logical pages created on the fly?

Thanks
 
I assume you mean something like a physical page being an aspx and a logical
page, or one type, being an axd?

Essentially, everything in a computer is a 1 or a 0. When computers talk to
other computers, they string these together in bytes. That is all that is
being sent when a web page is requested.

With that in mind, an aspx is run through the aspnet.dll (I may have the
name wrong) and turned into a stream of bytes. But, if you want to create a
page that "does not exist", you can use any handler (including ASPX) to
create the "page" and stream its bytes through the Response object (and thus
into the user's browser).

Hope that answers your question ok.
