NET Control
Let’s look at an example of how we can implement a simple “hello world” application. For this, we
would need to implement the below-mentioned steps.
Step 1) The first step involves the creation of a new project in Visual Studio. After launching Visual
Studio, you need to choose the menu option New->Project.
Step 2) The next step is to choose the project type as an ASP.Net Web application. Here we also need
to mention the name and location of our project.
1. In the project dialog box, you can see various options for creating different types of projects.
Click the Web option on the left-hand side.
2. When we click the Web option in the previous step, we will be able to see an option for ASP.Net
Web Application. Click this option.
3. We then give a name for the application, which in our case is DemoApplication. We also need to
provide a location to store our application.
4. Finally, we click the ‘OK’ button to let Visual Studio to create our project.
Step 3) In the next screen, you have to choose the type of ASP.net web application that needs to be
created. In our case, we are going to create a simple Web Form application.
First, choose the project type as ‘Empty’. This will ensure that we start with a basic application which is
simple to understand.
We choose the option “web Forms”. This adds the basic folders. These are required for a basic Web
Forms Application.
Finally, we click the ‘OK’ button to allow Visual Studio to create our application.
If the above steps are followed, you will get the below output in Visual Studio.
In the Solution Explorer, you will be able to see the DemoApplication Solution. This solution will contain
2 project files as shown above. At the moment, one of the key files in the project is the
‘Global.asax.cs’. This file contains application specific information. In this file, you would initialize all
application specific variables to their default values.
Step 4) Now, it’s time to add a Web Form file to the project. This is the file which will contain all the
web-specific code for our project.
Step 5) In the next screen we are going to be prompted to provide a name for the web form.
1. Give a name for the Web Form. In our case, we are giving it a name of Demo.
2. Click the Ok button.
Automatically Visual Studio will create the Demo Web Form and will open it in Visual Studio.
Step 6) The next step is to add the code, which will do the work of displaying “Hello World.” This can
be done by just adding one line of code to the Demo.aspx file.
Code Explanation:-
The Response object in ASP.Net is used to send information back to the user. So in our case, we
are using the method “Write” of the Response object to write the text “Hello World.” The <%
and %> markers are used to add ASP.net specific code.
If you follow all of the above steps and run your program in Visual Studio, you will get the following
output.
ASP.NET Web Forms
Web Forms are web pages built on the ASP.NET Technology. It executes on the server and generates
output to the browser. It is compatible to any browser to any language supported by .NET common
language runtime. It is flexible and allows us to create and add custom controls.
We can use Visual Studio to create ASP.NET Web Forms. It is an IDE (Integrated Development
Environment) that allows us to drag and drop server controls to the web forms. It also allows us to set
properties, events and methods for the controls. To write business logic, we can choose any .NET
language like: Visual Basic or Visual C#.
Web Forms are made up of two components: the visual portion (the ASPX file), and the code behind the
form, which resides in a separate class file.
Asp.net is Fully Based on Controls.Before Making any application ,I will learn First about the Asp.Net
Controls.If you will understand the Use of Controls then you can easily make any Application without
any problem in Asp.Net.There are some Types of controls which are used in Asp.Net.
Navigation Controls
Validation Controls
Html Controls
we will understand one by one each Controls with Real Application.Now I am going to Know What is
Web Forms Controls In Asp.Net?.
Note:- Whenever you will use Web Forms Controls in your Application then First write
one Namespace Which is Given below:
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
