Button

  • Article

The Button control presents a standard command button, which is rendered as an HTML input element. Using a Button control on ASP.NET web pages allows users to indicate that they have completed the form or that they want to perform a specific command. Web server controls include three kinds of buttons, each of which appears differently on web pages: Button control, LinkButton, and ImageButton.

When a user clicks any of the three types of buttons, a form is submitted to the server. This causes the web page to be processed and any pending events to be raised in server-based code. For details about writing code for button controls, see Button Web Server Controls Overview Cc295204.xtlink_newWindow(en-us,Expression.40).png in the MSDN library.

To add a Button control to a page

  1. Drag the Button control from the Toolbox panel to your page.

  2. Set properties for the control in the Tag Properties panel.
