ASP Request Form - Exercise Result

You Said:

Reading and writing HTML Form Data

Here is one way to write the ASP script, readform.asp. Submitting the HTML Form runs your ASP script, reads the text data, and writes it back to the browser: 
 
<html>
<head>
<title>Module 3 - Exercise 5 Solution</title>
</head>
<body >
<div align="center">
  <p><b><font size="+2">Module 3 - Exercise 5 Solution
  </font></b></p>
  <% Response.Write "Welcome " & Request.Form("txtName")
  & "!" %>
  <p> </p>
</div>
</results>
</html>


 
   .
<form name="frmWelcome" method="post" action="readform.asp">
   .


 
<input type="text" name="txtName" size="30">

To run the equivalent ASP script on ASP.NET (particularly for a Windows Server on Azure), you will want to transition from
  1. classic ASP syntax** (`<% %>`) to
  2. ASP.NET Web Forms or ASP.NET Core.

Below is an updated ASP.NET Web Forms version, which is still commonly supported on Azure Windows Server environments for legacy applications.
✅ Steps:
  1. Create a Web Form named ReadForm.aspx.
  2. Use TextBox, Button, and Label controls.
  3. Handle form logic in ReadForm.aspx.cs (code-behind).


✅ `ReadForm.aspx` 
 
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="ReadForm.aspx.cs" Inherits="YourNamespace.ReadForm" %>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>Module 3 - Exercise 5 Solution</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="frmWelcome" runat="server">
        <div style="text-align: center;">
            <p><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Module 3 - Exercise 5 Solution</span></strong></p>
            <asp:TextBox ID="txtName" runat="server" Width="300px" />
            <br /><br />
            <asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="btnSubmit_Click" />
            <br /><br />
            <asp:Label ID="lblResult" runat="server" Font-Size="Large" />
        </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

✅ `ReadForm.aspx.cs` (code-behind) 
  
using System;
namespace YourNamespace
{
    public partial class ReadForm : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        }

        protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string name = txtName.Text;
            lblResult.Text = "Welcome " + Server.HtmlEncode(name) + "!";
        }
    }
}
✅ Notes:
  • This version is written for ASP.NET Web Forms (.NET Framework), ideal for hosting on Azure App Service (Windows).
  • Ensure your Azure App is set up with a proper deployment (e.g., via Visual Studio or Azure DevOps).
  • Replace "YourNamespace" with your actual namespace.
