I am new to developing in asp.net for making web sites. So I having some trouble understanding the difference between the following. What is the difference between an asp:Bu
The first code it is a server side code. When you add a tag asp:button
in your webform, the asp.net will render an input type="button"
for you and when you click this button, it will submit a post to the same page (this is called postback
) and will processing the life cycle and asp.net event associated with this button. The same is valid for every server control such as TextBoxes
(render input type='text'
), Panels
(renders divs), Checkboxes
(render input type='checkbox'
), Labels
(render spans
) etc...
In the second code, you have the code that first one will render (an input type = 'button'
), but associated with an event in the client-side javascript.
You can also associate a client-side event in a tag asp:button
, take a look at the OnClientClick
property.
