ASP.NET Web Forms
Introduction
This is a sample chapter from Pure ASP.NET.
At the most basic level, an ASP.NET Web form looks remarkably like a regular HTML page. It is a text file that contains markup language that can be edited in a simple text editor such as notepad. However, an ASP.NET Web form has several "distinguishing elements, which are discussed in this chapter:
-
Web forms contain blocks of code that are processed on the server.
-
The first time a Web form is requested, the entire page is compiled. Subsequent requests are served from this compiled page.
-
Web forms can contain page directives, which are global settings for the page. Common page directives enable you to turn off session state and ViewState management.
-
Web forms can contain both server-sides, including SSIs, which enable you to dynamically insert the contents of a file into your Web form, and user controls. User controls are object oriented and use a more programmatic approach to code encapsulation than SSIs.
-
As mentioned previously, Web forms can also contain as much HTML and client-side script, such as JavaScript, as desired.

Hi,
The examples are fine, they are working. But how about passing the values among 3 or 4 pages ?.
I mean, if there is any values entered in 1.aspx file, then I should be able to retrieve back in 3.aspx and send it back to 4.aspx file ?. How do I do that ?.
Is there any better way of doing it ?. Please help.
Thanks.

Karthick

<script language="VB" runat="server">
Sub InfoBox(Mensagem as string)
Dim NewScript as string
NewScript = "<script language=JavaScript>"
NewScript = NewScript & "alert('" & Mensagem & "');"
NewScript = NewScript & "</script" & ">"
If ( Not IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("alert")) then
RegisterClientScriptBlock("alert", NewScript)
End If
End Sub
</script>

how to access a method declared in a web user control form(.ascx) into a web form(.aspx) in asp.net?
You can try this one:
MessageBox for ASP.NET from http://www.bassilsoft.com
you cann't call "Form2.show()" to let a new WebForm to show up..
That's the Windows application 's methd, could not work on Webform in ASP.NET.
You can use Transfer("NewPage2.aspx") or Redirect("xxx.aspx") at server side .vb code.

-A Web Form refers to the .aspx page that inherits from the System.Web.UI.Page class.
-There is also an HtmlForm class that allows you to create and control an Html <Form> tag on the server. You can create this in your .aspx page using <form runat="server"> and must place your input related tags/controls (buttons, text boxes, etc.) inside it. This will be rendered to the client as the standard HTML <form> tag.
-Web Controls are a group of classes in the System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace, such as labels, repeaters and datagrids, as well as the form related controls such as text boxes and buttons.
-Html Controls are a group of classes similar to the web controls but they are in the System.Web.UI.HtmlControls namespace and are very simple controls that represent Html tags such as the HTML form mentioned above, buttons, text boxes, etc. HtmlControls generally are not as feature rich as Web Controls and there are less of them.
Hi Aton,
As SVKoli has said, its always better to comibe the code with client side scripts.
Java Script or J Script will help you to do this... since Javascript is allmost read by all browsers.

Hi atan
there's no keyword for displaying a MessageBox in ASP.NET. You have to register a ClientScriptBlock and Invoke this. Here's an exampla page
<script runat="server">
void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string message = "MessageBoxTest";
string alertScript = "<script language=JavaScript>";
alertScript += "alert('" +message +"');";
alertScript += "</script" +">";
if (!IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("alert"))
this.RegisterClientScriptBlock("alert", alertScript);
}
</script>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form runat="server">
<asp:Button id="Button1" onclick="Button1_Click" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
There also exists a free MessageBox Server-Component. You'll find it here

This is great info and it works superb with IIS, but how are you all getting the files to work on your site? I uploaded all the files, enabled folder actions did everything I can think of, but still can't seem to get it to work. The files are here so you can see what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!
