This was likely ASP.NET code. In the early days many folks just FTP'd their whole ASP.NET project folder to IIS, including the source code (e.g. .aspx.cs code behind etc) when you didn't need to. There was a lot of misunderstanding about how to deploy ASP.NET applications, many folks were still working with a Classic ASP mindset.
