asp.net - templates

What does the word 'Template' mean when talking about ASP.NET?

For example I have heard about Page template, item template, etc.

What are they?

Templates (in the case of databound controls such as GridViews) enclose controls that are to be shown for each entry (row, item, etc) the databound control generates.

So, a template containing a Label control bound to a field called RowName will generate a Label, with the Text property set to the value of the RowName, for each row.

Page templating is a similar idea; namely that each page can inherit controls from a "Master" page without having to code those controls for each page seperately.
