WebPages Examples

ASP.NET WebPages provides a wide range of functionalities for building dynamic and data-driven web applications. Below are some practical examples to illustrate how you can use WebPages features effectively in your projects.

Key Topics

Form Submission Example

Example

@{
    if (IsPost)
    {
        var name = Request["name"];
        Response.Write("Hello, " + name + "!");
    }
}

<form method="post">
    <label for="name">Enter your name:</label>
    <input type="text" id="name" name="name" />
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Explanation: This example demonstrates handling a simple form submission. The user's input is retrieved using the Request object and displayed dynamically.

Database Interaction Example

Example

@{
    var db = Database.Open("MyDatabase");
    var users = db.Query("SELECT Name, Email FROM Users");
}

<h2>User List</h2>
<ul>
    @foreach (var user in users)
    {
        <li>@user.Name (@user.Email)</li>
    }
</ul>

Explanation: This example connects to a database, retrieves user data, and displays it in a simple HTML list using the WebPages Database helper.

Dynamic Content Example

Example

@{
    var currentTime = DateTime.Now;
    var greeting = currentTime.Hour < 12 ? "Good Morning!" : "Good Afternoon!";
}

<h2>@greeting</h2>
<p>Current time is: @currentTime</p>

Explanation: This example uses Razor syntax to display a dynamic greeting based on the current time, showcasing how to incorporate logic directly into your WebPages application.
