ASP.NET: Tutorial

ASP.NET Tutorial - Page 2 (.NET Framework).
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
	lblHello.InnerHtml = "Hello " & txtName.Value
End Sub 
</script>
<html>
<head><title>Hello</title></head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
	Enter your name:<input type="text" id="txtName" runat="server" />
	<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit Query" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
</form>
<span id="lblHello" runat="server"></span>
</body>
</html>
ASP.NET Hello Example

The previous example output this to the browser:

<html>
<head><title>Hello</title></head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="Default.aspx" id="form1">

<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPDwULLTE5Njc0MTYxMzYPZBYCAg..." />

<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTVALIDATION" id="__EVENTVALIDATION" value="/wEdAAN/m5g0b2a+
zaHVWk2+8rIIozoJZpuXxkpOVJKRbHyuHs34O/GfAV4V4n0wgFZHr3dFXqNPfC4dZJB+r2ifPcYeeQlEiGzksAE1NVfO/nb6Ag==" />

Enter your name:<input name="txtName" type="text" id="txtName" value="HARRY" />
<input type="submit" name="Button1" value="Submit Query" id="Button1" />
</form>
<span id="lblHello">Hello HARRY</span>
</body>
</html>

Notice that the server-side script/code is gone and that there is VIEWSTATE and EVENTVALIDATION which handle the statelessness of HTTP and prevent injection attacks, respectively. Thanks to the VIEWSTATE, web forms give the page a life cycle and raises events. This is all handled automatically and is transparent to the programmer.

Another example: turn a decimal number into binary.

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If Page.IsPostBack Then
	If IsNumeric(txtNumber.Value) Then
		lblBinary.InnerHtml = ""
		Dim input As UInt64 = txtNumber.Value
		Dim bit As UInt64 = 4503599627370496
		While bit > 0
			lblBinary.InnerHtml &= IIf((input And bit) = 0, "0", "1")
			bit /= 2
		End While
	End If
End If
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
	Enter a number:<input type="text" id="txtNumber" runat="server" />
	<input id="Submit1" type="submit" runat="server" />
</form>
<span id="lblBinary" runat="server"></span>
</body>
</html>

Now, in C#

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	if (Page.IsPostBack)
	{
		ulong input;
		if(ulong.TryParse(txtNumber.Value.ToString(), out input))
		{
			lblBinary.InnerHtml = "";
			while (input > 0)
			{
				lblBinary.InnerHtml = (input % 2).ToString() + lblBinary.InnerHtml;
				input /= 2;
			}				
		}
	}
}
</script>
<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
	Enter a number:<input type="text" id="txtNumber" runat="server" />
	<input id="Submit1" type="submit" runat="server" />
</form>
<span id="lblBinary" runat="server"></span>
</body>
</html>
