Hi,
yes it is possible.
There are two types of coding style in ASP.NET.
[1]Inline Coding and [2]Code Behind
Presently you are using Code Behind style.
When u provide Design part code and Logic part code within a single file
called as ASPX,then it is INLINE ,where as
When u provide Design part code within ASPX file and Logic part code within
DLL file, then it is 'CODE BEHIND'.
AND

PROBLEMS WITH INLINE:-

INLINE doesnot support parallel Development of Designing part and Logic part
because single file has to be shared by the WebDesigner and WebDeveloper.
So,This leads to TIME CONSUMPTION.
and also
INLINE doesnot provide SECURITY for Logic part.

CODEBEHIND will overcome all the sbove problems of INLINE.
In asp.net INLINE is used only for migration purpose.
Below link further illustrates how you can write Inline and Code Behind in
ASP.NET
