This.Page() handles the web hit.
Notice that this is just a supervisor function, and calls very little native VFP code.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Keep Data handling separate from HTML generation.
If you mix data and HTML your code will be an awful mess.

Our basic template pages have placeholders for:
This.Content
This.ErrorMessage
