PowerWEB LiveControls for ASP.NET is a powerful suite of controls that update web page data from the server without refreshing the browser. For a programmer's reference of the classes used by the PowerWEB LiveControls for ASP.NET, see the Assembly Overview topic.
Samples
Sample applications in C# and VB demonstrate usage of the PowerWEB LiveControls for ASP.NET in Visual Studio .NET. The samples are structured around a single Web application per environment that demonstrates usage from links off a central page. For example, the Visual Studio .NET C# samples are available from the PowerWEB LiveControls C# Samples project.
Please note the documentation also includes a number of tutorials and code snippets for certain control members.
IMPORTANT: These samples are setup for the .NET Framework 1.1, rather than 1.0. This means that the samples have the following attribute set: ValidateRequest="false" If you wish to use these samples with the 1.0 version of the Framework, you will need to remove that attribute from the ASPX file. Below is an example ASPX header that will contain that attribute:
<%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="LatestNews.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false"
Inherits="PowerWEB_LiveControls_CSharp.LatestNews" ValidateRequest="false"%>
The default directory for sample applications is:
