Debugging ASP.NEt with C#

braheem · June 24th, 2005, 10:32 AM

I am new to C# and having some trouble with debugging, I have created a simple form and I want to pass information using QueryStrings. I have written the first page but when I try to view it I get the following error:

Compiler Error Message: CS1003: Syntax error, '(' expected

Source Error:
Line 16:
Line 17: <input type="radio" name="ages"
Line 18: <%if ages="20-26" then Response.Write("checked")%>
Line 19: value="20-26">20-26</input>
Line 20: <br />

Below is the full program, thank you in advance for your help.

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFCC" text="#000000">
<form action="response_page.asp" method="get">

Fisrt Name: <input type="text" name="fname">
<br />
Last Name: <input type="text" name="lname">
<br /><br />

<%
dim ages;
ages=Request.Form("ages");
%>
<p>Please select your age range:</p>

<input type="radio" name="ages"
<%if ages="20-26" then Response.Write("checked")%>
value="20-26">20-26</input>
<br />

<input type="radio" name="ages"
<%if ages="27-33" then Response.Write("checked")%>
value="27-33">27-33</input>
<br />

<input type="radio" name="ages"
<%if ages="34-40" then Response.Write("checked")%>
value="34-40">34-40</input>
<br />

<input type="radio" name="ages"
<%if ages="41-47" then Response.Write("checked")%>
value="41-47">41-47</input>
<br />

<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

I am missing the part where this page becomes a C# page.

AFAICS, this looks like a classic ASP page with only a C# directive. This doesn't even come close to an ASP.NET page.

What are you using (books, on-line resources) to learn this?

I am using an online resource W3schools. What I would like to do is create a page with First Name, Last Name and below that have various age ranges for a user to select. Once the form is filled out and the user clicks the submit button I would like a second page to come up displaying the First Name and Last Name and the age range that the user selected. Hope that helps.

Thanks,
braheem

But do you want to do this in C# or in "classic" ASP??
