- Creating Web Application
Dotnet enables the user who can create the Web Pages through the following controls:
- HTML Server Control - HTML elements exposed to the server so you can program
them. HTML server controls expose an object model that maps very closely to the
HTML elements that they render.
- Web server controls - Controls with more built-in features than HTML server
controls. Web server controls include not only form controls such as buttons and
text boxes, but also special-purpose controls such as a calendar, menus, and a tree
view control. Web server controls are more abstract than HTML server controls in
that their object model does not necessarily reflect HTML syntax.
- Validation controls - Controls that incorporate logic to enable you to what
users enter for input controls such as the TextBox control. Validation controls
enable you to check for a required field, to test against a specific value or pattern
of characters, to verify that a value lies within a range, and so on. For more information,
see Validation ASP.NET Controls.
- User controls - Controls that you create as ASP.NET Web pages. You can embed
ASP.NET user controls in other ASP.NET Web pages, which is an easy way to create
toolbars and other reusable elements. For more information, see ASP.NET User Controls.
