(Page 1 of 6 )
In Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft made a lot of enhancements to the earlier version. Graphically pleasing and at the same highly interactive, rich page creation became a reality. Master pages gave the same look and feel among the different pages supported by CSS, themes, skins, and so on. Navigation was never easier. This tutorial is about a new control in ASP.NET 2.0, the Wizard Control, which adds to this rich repertoire.
Introduction
The Wizard Control introduced in ASP.NET 2.0 resembles the countless wizards in Microsoft technology which have become quite common in other desktop products as well. The Windows ODBC manager and the installation routines of countless software programs are just two examples. Although wizards for web pages are not that common, the Wizard Control in ASP.NET 2.0 is for web applications. One could use a wizard to collect bits and pieces of information to be consolidated into some end result. This demo, presented at a very basic level, gives you a chance to experiment with the wizard control and discuss it in our article blogs.
In the next section a brief description of the wizard is given, describing the different regions where the user can interact. The control in its minimum embodiment is fully functional, and the user can configure it to embellish the wizard with the features that are desired. In the sections that follow, a simple demo is created by modifying the basic features utilizing the event driven logic which lets the wizard deliver an end product, albeit a trivial example is presented.
