Controls You Can Use on Web Forms ASP.NET Standard Controls Button Controls

Adding buttons to a page is a simple process.

Declare an <asp:Button> or <asp:LinkButton> element on the page.


   Set the caption by setting the control’s Text property.
   Assign the handler that will receive control when the onClick event of the button occurs ( i.e., when a user clicks the control ).



<asp:button text="Click Me" onClick="doSomething" runat="server" />

Because buttons execute commands, it can be useful to specify an access key for a button. Users can then press ALT plus the access key to choose the button. Note, though, that access keys are not supported in all browsers.

To define a button access key


   Set the accessKey property to a single character. For example, to make the access key ALT plus the character "B", specify "B" as the value of the accessKey property. 


<asp:button text="Click Me" accessKey="c" onClick="doSomething" runat="server" />

 NOTE: In Windows applications, access keys are typically indicated on a button using an underlined character. This facility is not available for Button Controls due to restrictions in HTML. If you want to be able to display the access key for a button, you can use the HtmlInputButton or HtmlButton control.

Adding an ImageButton control is slightly more involved that working with other button types. See Creating Graphical Button Controls.
