Server Controls
These controls are basically server side .NET components. The four types of server controls are HTML, ASP, Validation, and User. This article will not focus on the user control, it will be covered in a separate article later.
HTML Controls
These are your standard HTML controls with a few modifications that enable them to be used within ASP.NET. You can take any HTML control and add the ID and RUNAT attributes to make it a HTML server control.
<input type="text" id="txtName" runat="server"
size="40">
ASP.NET Controls
A set of server-side components that can generate HTML or JavaScript for your ASP.NET pages. They also give developers the ability to program to events that are not available with HTML controls. This is one of the biggest improvements to ASP. Another advantage of ASP.NET controls is the ability to bind them to a data source, with includes XML recordsets.
<% @Page language="C#" %> <html> <body> <script language="C#" runat="server"> private void btnclick_click(object sender, EventArgs e) { lblresponse.Text = "You selected " + rgdemo.SelectedItem.Text; } </script> <form runat=server> <asp:label id="lblMessage" text="Which do you prefer" runat="server" /> <asp:RadioButtonList id="rgdemo" runat="server"> <asp:ListItem selected="True">C##</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Visual Basic</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Delphi</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>C++</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem>Other</asp:ListItem> </asp:RadioButtonList> <br><br> <asp:button id="btnclick" text="Click Here" onClick="btnclick_click" runat="server" /> <br><br> <asp:label id="lblresponse" runat="server" /> </form> </body> </html> |
Validation Controls
Validation controls attach to input controls, they work together to provide developers with the ability to check required fields, patterns, ranges, and other routine validation scenarios.
<% @Page language="C#" %>
<html>
<body>
<form runat=server action="validate.aspx">
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>
<asp:label id="lbltext" text="Type is a number greater than 10 "
runat="server"/>
<asp:Textbox id="txtnumber" runat="server" size="5" />
</TD>
<TD>
<asp:CompareValidator id="valtext" runat="server"
ForeColor="Red" ControlToValidate="txtnumber" Type="Integer"
ValueToCompare=10 Operator="GreaterThanEqual"
ErrorMessage="Please enter a number greater than 10!" />
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<asp:button type="submit" runat="server" id="btnsubmit"
text="Validate Me!" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
