This series introduces students to the ASP.NET platform, and gets students started using ASP.NET features such as server controls, validation controls and composite controls in their Visual Studio .NET projects. This series uses the Enterprise Architect edition of Visual Studio 2002.

This series is for anyone who is interested in learning to develop applications using Visual Studio .NET. This online course contains 3 lessons and should take approximately 8 hours to complete.

Lesson 1: Getting Started (2.0) hours

Getting Started teaches you how to describe the evolution of ASP to ASP.NET, explain the platform requirements for ASP.NET, describe ASP.NET programming models, explain what Web forms are and their uses, create an ASP.NET application, describe IIS application roots, and explain how HTML and XML work in ASP.NET. This course provides an overview of ASP.NET and explains advances made over previous versions of ASP. This course explains the components of an ASP.NET Web form, then shows how to design an ASP.NET Web form using Visual Studio. NET. The course also explains how requests and responses are handled, and how application root directories are structured. The course concludes with a discussion of the role of HTML and XML in ASP.NET applications. Topics include ASP.NET Programming Models, Web Forms, Creating ASP.NET Web Applications, Designing Forms, Understanding Request and Response, IIS Application Roots, and HTML and XML in ASP.NET.

Lesson 2: Using Server Controls (3.0) hours

Using Server Controls teaches you how to describe how server controls are used in ASP.NET, describe how Web controls are used in ASP.NET, set properties and handle events in Web forms, and use the various Web controls and add them to forms. This course explains how to use server controls with ASP.NET Web forms. This course shows students how server controls work, and how to add server controls to Web forms and set their properties. The course then discusses how to use specific server controls and concludes with an example ASP.NET Web form showing multiple server controls in use. Topics include Beginning with Server Controls, Adding Web Controls to Forms, Properties and Event Handlers, Label and Text Controls, Button, HyperLink, and Image, DropDownList and ListBox, CheckBox and RadioButton, Table Control, Postback and ViewState, and Using Multiple Web Controls.

Lesson 3: Working with Validation and Composite Controls (3.0) hours

Working with Validation and Composite Controls teaches you how to explain the function of validation controls in ASP.NET, use the various validation controls in an application, and employ multiple validation controls, explain when you need to develop your own server controls, create and use Web user controls, convert ASP.NET pages to user Web controls, and create and use composite controls. This course teaches students how to use validation controls and composite controls when constructing an ASP.NET Web form. The course discusses how to use specific controls to validate ASP.NET Web form data. The course shows students how to develop their own server controls, how to create user control, and how to create and use composite controls. Topics include Introducing Validation Controls, Using the RequiredFieldValidator Control, Using the CompareValidator Control, Using the RangeValidator Control, Using the RegularExpressionValidator Control, Using the CustomValidator Control, Using the ValidationSummary Control, Developing ASP.NET Server Controls, Creating Web User Controls, Using Web User Controls, Converting ASP.NET Pages to User Web Controls, Creating Composite Controls, and Using Composite Controls.
