asp.net 1.1 event handlers

Hi

How to debug asp.net 1.1 application. I worked on asp.net 2.0 and later but not with asp.net 1.1 in VS 2003. I just placed button and textbox on ui and in button click handler, i am assigning random text. But when i select the button, i am seeing blank page. why so? what is different in running asp.net 1.1 and 2.0

below is code.

Button click event causes postback. At that time the page load event is called. In page load event the text is not being set. Hence you are not able to see the value. Use the code to set the value correctly.

You can use some other options as well such as setting value in client side using Javascript and EnableViewState=true to the textbox control.

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
   {
       if(Page.IsPostBack)
       {
           TextBox1.Text="foo";
       }

    }

in addition to the above, I was also expecting, an on_click in your asp tag:

chage this :
<asp:Button id="Button1" style="Z-INDEX: 102; LEFT: 248px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 216px" runat="server"
Text="Button"></asp:Button>

to this:

<asp:Button id="Button1" style="Z-INDEX: 102; LEFT: 248px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 216px" runat="server"
Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click" ></asp:Button>

to reference this in your code behind:
private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
TextBox1.Text="foo";
}
