Output.Write("Welcome to Simple Codebehind!")
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
We know that when creating a codebehind file we need to specify any namespaces for
other classes that we will be using in the file. In our case we're specifying the System and
System.Web.UI namespaces. We need to specify the System namespace because it
includes the common classes we need to use in almost every operation. If you were using a
Web Server Control in your class, you would need to reference the
System.Web.UI.WebControls. We are also including the SYSPRO e.net solutions
"Encore" namespace so that we can utilize the e.net solutions classes within our code.
When you define your class you need to specify a class it inherits from. The Page class is
associated with all files that have an .aspx extension. These files are compiled at runtime
as Page objects and cached, and should be used when creating a Web Forms page with a
codebehind file. At the same time we are also specifying the custom namespace
(SimpleControlSamples) for the codebehind, which provides a naming scope for our class
and is good way to represent a hierarchy of classes.
