Asp.

net web server control :-

The html server controls have properties & method which makes it very easy to
migrate from classic asp to asp.net pages employing the html server controls.
B
server control.
In contrast to html server controls, the asp.net web server controls have an
abstracted model which does not map to html elements. Controls attributes
differs from html element attributes.
In html controls, we have a single control (<select> tag) for both list and
dropdown which are provided as separate controls in asp.net (listbox &
dropdown list)
The standard controls can be classified in 3 categories :-
1. Table control
2. Form control
3. General control
Common properties :-
1. BackColor
2. BorderColor
3. BorderStyle
4. CssClass
5. Enabled
6. EnableTheming
7. ForeColor
8. Height
9. Width
10. SkinID
11. ID
12. runat
13. tooltip
14. Style
Asp Table controls (<asp: Table>) :-
Asp contains web server control for the creation of a table, table row and table
cell.
This control is mapped to <table>, <tr> & <td> of html.
This control is often built programmatically with dynamic contents.
Each table control is made up of rows which are represented by <asp:TableRow>
and is stored in Rows collection of the control.
Each row is made up of cells which is represented by <asp:TableCell> and is stored
in cells collection of the TableRow class.
E.g :

<asp:TableRow>

.
.
.
asp:TableCell>
</asp:TableRow>
</asp:Table>
Properties of table control :-
1. BackImageUrl : Specifies URL of background image.
2. Caption : It is used to give a caption to the table.
3. CaptionAlign : Specifies the alignment of caption.
4. CellPadding
5. CellSpacing
6. HorizontalAlign
7. Rows : It specifies the row collection of table.
Properties of rows :-
1. Cells : Specifies the cells collection of particular row.
Properties of cell :-

1. ColumnSpan

2. RowSpan

3. Text : Specifies the text content of the cells.

4. Wrap : Content of cells will be wrapped by the same value.

Dynamically creating a table :-
Dim T1 As New Table
Dim Tr As New TableRow
Dim Tc As New TableCell
T1.Rows.Add (Tr)
Tr.Rows.Add (Tc)
Form Controls :-
1. Label Control :-
It enables us to display a static text on the webpage.
We can use the text property to display text and it can also be specified
programmatically at run time.
Users can not edit the text of label control at run time.
We use labels to display validation messages, answer etc.
We can also make a label as a child control of other controls.
Syntax:-

E.g Content.aspx :-
Enter your name:

</asp:Textbox>

<br/>

Content.aspx.vb :-
Partial Class Content
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub btnsubmit_Click (ByVal Sender As object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnsubmit.Click
Dim str As String

lbl.Text=str
End Sub
End Class
Properties of label control :-
1. ID
2. TabIndex
3. Text
4. ToolTip
5. Visible
6. AccessKey
7. Runat
2. Literal Control :-

When we want to render text and control directly on a page without any markup,
we use a literal control.
It reserves a location on the web page to display static text.
We can edit the text in a literal programmatically at run time.
It is similar to label exception that is does not support any formatting properties.
Properties of literal control :-
1. ID
2. Text
3. Visible
4. EnableViewState
5. Runat
6. Mode :- It specifies how the content in the literal will be rendered on the page.

<h1>Hello</h1> o/p : Hello

<b>Hello</b> o/p : Hello

not supported by requesting client.

Difference between Label and Literal :-

Label :
1. Default text property in label is set to label 1.
2. Label tag is rendered as span tag in html.
3. We can apply all formatting styles on a label.
4. We can not use Asp label in between title tag.

Literal :
1. Default text property is set to null.
2. Literal tag does not rendered as html element.
3. We can not apply any formatting.
4. We can use Literal between title tag.
3. Textbox Control :-

It is like the html textbox control which allows the user to enter some text.
The Asp.net textbox control is flexible and can be configured to support single
line, multiple or password modes.
Properties of textbox control :-
1. AutoPostBack :
It is a Boolean property which specifies whether the control will post the
contents automatically to the server when the content of control changes.
2. Columns :
It specifies the width of textbox.
3. Rows :
It specifies the number of rows when the text mode is multiline.

5. ReadyOnly :
It is a Boolean value which specifies whether the user can edit the content
of textbox.
6. Wrap :
It is a Boolean value which specifies whether to wrap text or not.
7. MaxLength :
It specifies the maximum number of character that can be entered in the
textbox.
8. Text
9. Visible

4. Link Button Control (<asp:LinkButton>) : -

<asp:LinkButton> control is similar to hyperlink of the html control but is same as

the button control in terms of functionality.
We can write code on the click of a link button.
Properties of Link Button control :-
1. Text: Specifies the text to display within the linkbutton.
2. PostBackUrl: It specifies the URL of the page to post form the current page.
3. CausesValidation: By default a page is validate, when a button control is
clicked. To prevent a page or a control form being validated when clicking on a
button, set this property to false.
 E.g

Partial Class LinkB

Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Link_Click (ByVal sender As object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Link1.Click

End Sub
End Class

5. Button Control :

It allows us to create a push button on a web form.

Bydefault, buttons submit the page to the server and there it is processed along
with some events.
Two types of buttons can be created.
1. Submit Button
2. Command Button
A submit button submits the page to the server by executing the instructions
attached to the buttons event handler.
A command button has a command name specified by CommnadName property.
This allows us to create multiple buttons on a webpage and programmatically
determine which button is clicked by handling the command event.
Properties of Button Control :-
1. CausesValidation
2. Text
3. PostBackUrl
4. CommandName : It specifies the command associated with command event.
5. OnClientClick : The name of the function to be executed when the button is
clicked.
Events of Button Control :-
1. Click
2. Command
E.g Content.aspx
 </asp:Textbox>

</asp:Textbox>

btnS S -

txtA
</asp:Textbox>
</form>
Content.aspx.vb:
Partial Class Content
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub btnA_Command (ByVal sender As object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.webcontrols.CommandEventArgs) Handles btnA.Command,
BtnS.Comamnd, btnM.Comamnd, btnD.Command
Dim no1, no2 As Double
no1=txtA.Text
no2=txtB.Text

txtAns.Text = no1 + no2

Els
txtAns.Text = no1 - no2

txtAns.Text = no1 * no2

Else
txtAns.Text = no1 / no2
End If
End Sub
End Class

6. ImageButton Control :-

It is used to display clickable image. To set the image for this control, we use the
ImageUrl property.
It also supports both click and command events like button control.
 Properties of ImageButton control :-

be posted to.
2. ImageUrl : It Specifies the URL of the image to be set on the button.
3. CommandName : The name of the command associated with the command
event.

7. Radio Button Control :-

It is used to select a single option from a list of given items. It is also known as
option button.
We use radio buttons for attributes like gender, qualification, category, mcqs etc
where multiple options are given but we select only one.
For this, we create a radio button group such that whenever one button is
selected others get unselected.
Properties of Radio Button Control :-
1. Checked: A Boolean value which specifies whether the radio button is checked
or not.
2. GroupName: The name of the group to which a radio button belongs. So that
only one can be selected at a time.
3. AutoPostBack: A Boolean value which specifies whether the control will
postback immediately after the checked property is changed.
4. Text: Specifies the text next to the radio button.
5. TextAlign: Specifies the alignment of the button.
Events of Radio Button control :-
1. CheckedChanged
E.g RadioBtnEg.aspx :

RadioBtnEg.aspx.vb :
Partial Class RadioBtnEg
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
 Protected Sub rdFy_CheckedChanged (ByVal sender AS object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles rdFy.CheckedChanged
If rdFy.Checked = True then

End If
End Sub
End Class

8. CheckBox Control :-

It is a web server controls that provides user to switch between yes or no or true
or false options.
It is ideally used to give multiple options to the user.
Properties of Checkbox control :-
1. AutoPostBack
2. Checked
3. Text
Events :-
1. CheckedChanged
E.g CheckBoxEg.aspx :

/>
chkS S
/>

AutoPos

FYBCA Subjects
</asp:Panel>

SYBCA Subjects
</asp:Panel>
<asp:Panel
 TYBCA Subjects
</asp:Panel>
CheckBoxEg.aspx.vb :
Partial Class CheckBoxEg
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub chkFy_CheckedChanged (ByVal sender As object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles chkFy.CheckedChanged
panFy.Visible = True
End Sub
End Class

File Upload Control :-

It allows the users to upload files and send it to the server.

It is useful for uploading features, text file etc.
A user can select a file by clicking on the browser button and locating the file from
choose file dailogbox.
The file upload control does not save a file automatically to the server. A
developer needs to upload it explicitly by writing a code to submit a file.
We have a method Save As which saves the contents of a file to a specified path
on the server.

file upload control contains a file or not.

Properties of File upload control :-
FileBytes : Returns the no. of bytes of the file as an array.
FileContent : Returns the content of file as a stream.
FileName : Returns the name of the file uploaded.
HasFile : Specifies whether a file is selected or not.
E.g Content.aspx :-

lblF
Content.aspx.vb :-
Partial Class FileEg
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
 Protected Sub Fupload_Click (ByVal sender As object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Fupload.Click

If f1.HashFile = true then

\
f1.SaveAs (Str)

Else

End If
End Sub
End Class
The Server.MapPath method traces the location of given path (images) where we
want to upload the given file (f1).
Then after the SaveAs method saves the file (uploads) on the mapped path on the
server.
Hyperlink Control :-
A hyperlink control is used to create a hyperlink in ASP.NET.
We can specify the hyperlink text using the text property.
