Introduction to Ektron CMS400.NET Server Controls
This relationship is only required when inserting a control in the
code behind. When dragging and dropping, even if you make
changes in code behind, the relationship is automatically
generated.
Customizing Server Controls
NOTE
Best Practice
Ektron recommends including the page property reference when using
the server controls as components in the code behind.
One of Visual Studio .NET’s strengths is its separation of coding
and logic from presentation. Web page formatting is handled by a
page’s HTML, while the logic is handled by the code behind, which
is stored in the corresponding .vb file. For example, if the ASP.NET
page is mypage.aspx, the code behind file is mypage.aspx.vb.
If you do not see the code behind files, click the Show All Files button on the VS
.NET Solution Explorer toolbar.
Within the vb file, you can use Visual Basic to insert code to
manipulate the events that occur on the page.
