Menu
I new to using web applications. I am currently using visual studio 2013 and I have created a web application. I would like to have a form that employees fill out and then when they hit submit the form will either add, change or delete from the database. From researching I originally tried making a web form. This did not allow me to keep the formatting that was made on my master page, and when I tried connecting it to the master page it did not allow it because of the <form>. So then I created a web form with master page. This allows me to keep the formatting from the master page but now I am unable to create a form using <form>. So my question is how do I create a form that will submit and still keep the formatting from my master page?
Master Page:
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Site.master.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1.SiteMaster" %>

Master pages allow you to create a consistent look and behavior for all the pages (or group of pages) in your web application. A master page provides a template for other pages, with shared layout and functionality. The master page defines placeholders for the content, which can be overridden by content pages.
WebPage is a document / information resource that is rendered usually as HTML/XHTML on World Wide Web and is accessed through Web Browser. Whereas, Web Form is a document where you can design and develop the Web Page, Web Form usually provides features which can enable a user to develop a Web Page.
Add the master page into our project. Right click Project->Add->New item (shown in the picture), After clicking on new item, Window will open, select Web Form->Web Forms Master Page (shown in the picture), After clicking the add button, master page 'site1.
Web Forms are pages that your users request using their browser. These pages can be written using a combination of HTML, client-script, server controls, and server code.
You can only have one form that has the runat="server"attribute on the composite page (Page + Master Page(s)).
The solution is to put the form in the Master Page, and put the content place holders inside the form. The Page itself doesn't just has to have the Content and declare the markup inside. When the page is executed, the markup from the Page and Master Page(s) will be combined into a single HTML file that is sent to the client.
Example master page:
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Site.master.cs" Inherits="Site" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Working with Data Tutorials</title>
<link href="Styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div id="header">
<span class="title">Working with Data Tutorials</span>
<span class="breadcrumb">TODO: Breadcrumb will go here...</span>
</div>
<div id="content">
<asp:contentplaceholder id="MainContent" runat="server">
<!-- Page-specific content will go here... -->
</asp:contentplaceholder>
</div>
<div id="navigation">
TODO: Menu will go here...
</div>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Example content page:
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" Title="Home" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" Runat="Server">
<h1>Welcome to the Working with Data Tutorial Site</h1>
<p>This site is being built as part of a set of tutorials that illustrate some of the new data access and databinding features in ASP.NET 2.0 and Visual Web Developer.</p>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" id="TextBox1" /><br />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" id="TextBox2" /><br />
<asp:Button runat="server" id="Btn1" OnClick="Btn1_Click" Text="Click to submit!" />
</asp:Content>
On the code behind (.cs file) for the page, you'd read the values from the text boxes like this:
protected void Btn1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string sometext=TextBox1.Text;
string somemoretext=TextBox2.Text;
}
