Week 7 Outline

• Code separation with traditional ASP

  • Functions

  • Server-side includes

  This pizza demo provides some example code.

• Overview of ASP.net

  Key properties of ASP.net

  • Use of multiple languages

    The most commonly used languages are C# and Visual Basic .net

  • Compiled into low-level code

  • Many user controls and visual components are predefined

    These are created with directives and produce the needed HTML code to create the component. Example: <asp:Calendar id="myCalendar" runat="server" />

  • User controls and visual components are objects

    As objects, they have properties, methods and events.

  • Methods handle and process events

  These ASP.net applications provide examples of the properties listed above.

  The Microsoft ASP.net page provides a useful set of tutorials on ASP.net.

  This Microsoft reference has one of the more comprehensive references on available Server Controls.

  I recommend the book ASP.net for Web Designers by Peter Ladka, provided that you don't mind a lot of dopey jokes mixed in with technical explanations.

  I was finally able to look up for the right handler name to do the anchovies pizza problem. I found the needed information at the W3Schools site.
