Displaying messages from radio button group.

Hello,

I love the book. The first read was tough, but going through it a second time makes a world of difference.

I'm trying to make a trivia game where someone selects from a radio group an answer and when they click on a button, it posts whether or not they got it right:

Code:

protected void Queston1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if(PontiacSilverdomeButton.Checked)
        {
            Response.Write("Incorrect");
        }
        else if(WayneStateButton.Checked)
        {
            Response.Write("Incorrect");
        }
        else if(DetroitButton.Checked)
        {
            Response.Write("Correct! Detroit Lions played their first game at The University of Detroit Stadium in 1934");
        }
        else if(TigersButton.Checked)
        {
            Response.Write("Incorrect");
        }

My problem is that I want to control where the message gets displayed and how do I do it? I'm not a programmer so I don't know how to display the write response to a label or validation summary? I don't seem to see it in the book or not interpreting what I read properly?

I solved my own question.

I switched the Response.Write("What I want to say"); into a Label.Text = "what I want to say here".

Yep, exactly. That would be the way to control it. as you could display the label wherever you want.

Response.Write is from the old days of classic ASP. Although it still works in .NET, there are typically better ways to generate output.

Cheers,
