Study Notes

Master Page

ASP.NET master pages allow creating a consistent layout for application pages.
A single master page defines the look and feel and standard behavior for all pages.

ASP.NET Controls

Button Controls: ASP.NET provides three types of button control:
- Button: displays text within a rectangular area.
- Link Button: displays text that looks like a hyperlink.
- Image Button: displays an image.
Button Properties:
- Text: the text displayed on the button (for button and link button controls only).
- ImageUrl: the image to be displayed for the button (for image button control only).
- AlternateText: the text to be displayed if the browser cannot display the image.
- CausesValidation: determines whether page validation occurs when a user clicks the button.
- PostBackUrl: the URL of the page that is requested when the user clicks the button.

Button Styles

Button sizes can be controlled using the .btn-lg class for large buttons or .btn-sm class for small buttons.
Spinner buttons can be added to a button.
Bootstrap 5 allows creating button groups using the .btn-group element.

Bootstrap 5 Button Groups

Button groups can be created horizontally or vertically.
Use the .btn-group-lg class for a large button group or the .btn-group-sm class for a small button group.
Button groups can be nested and combined with dropdown menus.

Bootstrap 5 Badges

Badges are used to add additional information to any content.
Use the .badge class together with a contextual class (like .bg-secondary) within  elements to create rectangular badges.

Bootstrap 5 Alerts

Alerts are created with the .alert class, followed by one of the contextual classes.
Alerts can have links with the .alert-link class to create "matching colored links".
