    Hi Kaye
     Better to change the lable Name "Message" into "lblMessage"
     after that u put lblMessage.Text="Test"

    I hope this will solve ur problem

    Hi Kaye
     First you do onethink. You just remove that webForm from ur project. Then U add one Webfor and rename it as per the remove webform Name. and add that button(Dont'do and code in Script and code behind side).
    Finally u call that form.

    If it works fine then u add that button and do the coding and Execute it.
    After that also u are getting error then post that error no and error message.

    we should try to solve ur problem.

    Hello Kaye,

    Well you just change the following in the aspx file:

    <asp:button id:"SubmitBtn" onclick="submitBtn_Click"></asp:button>

    changed to

    <asp:button id:"SubmitBtn" runat="server"></asp:button>

    Reason: As you have already bound an event handler for button click by saying Handles SubmitBtn.Click you do not have to say onclick="submitBtn_Click".

    I guess this should solve your problem.

    Look start from the scratch,

    1. On your webform, place a Label control, name it whatever u want to.

    2. On your webform, place a server button control, name it whatever u want to.

    3. double-click on the button control, and you will be in the code behind file. There put ur code as eg:

    Message.Text="Sample Text"

    4. Compile and run the program, and it will work.

     

    Done intermingle with the aspx page and codebehind, if u  r given some benefits use them.

     

    hope solved ur problem.
