ASP.NET Controls Tutorial

The ASP.NET Wizard control simplifies many of the tasks that are associated with building multiple forms and collecting user input. The Wizard control provides a simple mechanism that allows you to easily build steps, add a new step, or reorder the steps. You can build linear and non-linear navigation and customize the control's user navigation without writing code. In this tutorial, we will show you to create a contact step by step using wizard control in ASP.NET 2.0 and VB.NET.

First, import the namespace of System.Text.

The System.Text namespace contains classes representing ASCII, Unicode, UTF-7, and UTF-8 character encodings; abstract base classes for converting blocks of characters to and from blocks of bytes; and a helper class that manipulates and formats String objects without creating intermediate instances of String.

Imports System.Text

I just signed up at Server Intellect and couldn't be more pleased with my Windows Server! Check it out and see for yourself.

Then, add two events UserWizard_NextButtonClick and OnFinish in the Default.aspx page.

Protected Sub UserWizard_NextButtonClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.WizardNavigationEventArgs) Handles UserWizard.NextButtonClick
If UserWizard.WizardSteps(e.NextStepIndex).StepType = WizardStepType.Finish Then
Dim sb As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder("")
sb.AppendFormat("UserName:{0}<br/>", Name.Text)
sb.AppendFormat("Position:{0}<br />", Seat.Text)
sb.AppendFormat("E-Mail:{0}<br />", Mail.Text)
sb.AppendFormat("Mobile:{0}<br />", Mobile.Text)
sb.AppendFormat("Notes:{0}<br /><hr>", Notes.Text)

LabMessage.Text = sb.ToString()
End If
End Sub

Protected Sub OnFinish(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.WizardNavigationEventArgs) Handles UserWizard.FinishButtonClick
LabFinish.Text = "Save Successfully."
End Sub

Try Server Intellect for Windows Server Hosting. Quality and Quantity!

The front end Default.aspx page looks something like this:

If you're looking for a really good web host, try Server Intellect - we found the setup procedure and control panel, very easy to adapt to and their IT team is awesome!

The flow for the code behind page is as follows.

Imports System.Text

Partial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub UserWizard_NextButtonClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.WizardNavigationEventArgs) Handles UserWizard.NextButtonClick
If UserWizard.WizardSteps(e.NextStepIndex).StepType = WizardStepType.Finish Then
Dim sb As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder("")
sb.AppendFormat("UserName:{0}<br/>", Name.Text)
sb.AppendFormat("Position:{0}<br />", Seat.Text)
sb.AppendFormat("E-Mail:{0}<br />", Mail.Text)
sb.AppendFormat("Mobile:{0}<br />", Mobile.Text)
sb.AppendFormat("Notes:{0}<br /><hr>", Notes.Text)

LabMessage.Text = sb.ToString()
End If
End Sub

Protected Sub OnFinish(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.WizardNavigationEventArgs) Handles UserWizard.FinishButtonClick
LabFinish.Text = "Save Successfully."
End Sub
End Class
