When showing a form that contains a TextBox, it’s common courtesy to focus the TextBox so that the user can begin typing immediately. To focus a TextBox when a Windows Form first loads, simply set the TabIndex for the TextBox to zero (or the lowest TabIndex for any Control on the Form). When a Form is displayed,
Virtually every ASP.NET developer has, at one point or another, created a page with a Button control that, when clicked, redirects the user to some other page, perhaps sending along a value entered by the user through the querystring. The typical pattern for implementing such behavior is to add a Button to the page and create a Click event handler that executes a Response.Redirect( url ) . If the redirect incorporates some input from the user, then this pattern is expanded to include the addition of a TextBox or some other control to the page and a Response.Redirect( url ) statement that includes this control’s value. While this approach certainly works, it’s not without a couple of flaws. Firstly, this approach involves a needless round-trip to the server: clicking the Button causes the browser to re-request the page and the response from the server is simply, “Please go to url .” Ideally, when the Button was clicked the browser would immediately request the final destination URL rather than have to do a postback to find out the final destination URL. Second, this approach can lead to a confusing user experience in scenarios where there are multiple TextBoxes on the page and multiple Buttons because there may not be the expected correspondence between hitting Enter in a TextBox and having the associated Button control “clicked.” Consider a website with a master page that has a TextBox and Button for searching the site.

Developers using Microsoft’s ASP.NET AJAX framework can efficiently and interactively retrieve data from the web server using the ASP.NET AJAX client API, a bit of JavaScript, and Web services that support script access. Last week’s article, Building Interactive User Interfaces with Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX: Retrieving Server-Side Data Using Web Services , looked at how to create such Web services and how to call them from an ASP.NET AJAX application. With a sprinkle of JavaScript, This functionality can be implemented to provide a user interface that periodically updates, presenting pertinent information to the user without the need for the user to refresh her browser. Consider the following scenario: you are building a website that serves as a front-end for a work item database. The database contains tasks assigned to an employee; throughout the course of the day new tasks may be assigned to an employee by other workers, by automated processes, or by other means. When an employee logs onto the site he sees a hyperlink that lists the number of open work items in the upper left corner of every page, and clicking that link takes him to a page that lists the open work items in his queue. After completing a work item he closes it, which removes it from his list of open work items. In a typical web application the number of open work items in the upper left corner would only be refreshed when the user performed a postback, manually refreshed the page, or visited a new page. Wouldn’t it be nice if that count of open work items would interactively update as new work items assigned to the user entered the queue? This article looks at how to build such an interactive user interface by using the ASP.NET AJAX framework, script-enabled Web services, and a few lines of JavaScript, building upon the techniques discussed in Retrieving Server-Side Data Using Web Services . A complete, working demo is available for download at the end of this article. Read on to learn more! Read More >
