Question

I have access to a server with aspx pages. I need to add a title, parapgraphs, etc to a page. The page currently only has the following line:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="Access.Login" %>

I do not have access to the CS files, just the DLL. Anyway, when I try to add any html to the document nothing changes. I am able to change the CSS, and if I remove the “inherits” then whatever HTML I have gets displayed, but when the “inherits” is there only the default page gets displayed and none of my additions.

Admittedly I am new to ASP and moreover I am not trying to become a guru just to add some HTML to a page, but any advice would be great, thanks!

Answer 1

Try putting your Page_Load embedded in the .aspx and add controls that way:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="Access.Login" %>

<script runat="server">
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        if (!Page.IsPostBack) {
            Controls.Add(whatever);
        }
    }
</script>

<!-- Try this if the above does not work -->
<script runat="server">
        new protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        base.Page_Load(sender, e);
            if (!Page.IsPostBack) {
                Controls.Add(whatever);
            }
        }
</script>
