Hi all,



I just started out with the "Begining ASP.NET using C#". On page 108 the 

code on top is like this:



<script runat="server" language="c#">

  void Page_Load()

  {

    if (Request.Form["list1"] != "") 

    {

      message.Text = "You have selected " + Request.Form["list1"];

    }

  }

</script>



and in the body:



<asp:label id="message" runat="server"/>



The problem is that the first time I run the page (before filling in the 

form) it still writes: "You have selected".



I thought maybe I did something wrong, but the same happened with the code 

I downloaded from the wrox.com page.



In advance thanx a lot for any help on this

Yeah there is a  problem with that code, dont worry its not your error I had

the same problem

If you change it to............

if(Request.Form["list1"]!= null)

it will work

Trond,



Insert something like the following line before your ASPx Processing code:



	If Request.Querystring("isSubmitted") = "yes" Then

		|

		code, code, code

		|

	End If



This assumes your using method="get" in your Form.  For method="post" use:



	Request.Form("isSubmitted")







Insert something like this line just before your SUBMIT button in your HTML

Form:



	<input type="hidden" name="isSubmitted" value="yes">







HTH,



David
