24. Mark Dixon Page 24 Example: Default.aspx Sub Page_Load() End Sub

25. Mark Dixon Page 25 Example: Date.aspx Sub Page_Load() lblDate.InnerHtml = Format(Now(), "ddd dd MMM yyyy") lblTime.InnerHtml = Format(Now(), "hh:mm:ss") End Sub

26. Mark Dixon Page 26 Example: Temperature.aspx Sub btnCalc_ServerClick(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) lblCel.InnerHtml = ((txtFah.Value - 32) * 5) / 9 End Sub Temperature Conversion

27. Mark Dixon Page 27 Example: Loan.aspx Sub btnCalc_ServerClick(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) lblPayAn.InnerHtml = (txtSal.Value - 15000) * 0.09 lblPayMo.InnerHtml = lblPayAn.InnerHtml / 12 End Sub Student Loan

Mark Dixon Page 28 Example: PACS_VB.aspx Sub Page_Load() Dim cs As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + _ "Data Source=" + Server.MapPath("PACS.mdb") + ";" + _ "Persist Security Info=False" Dim sql As String = "SELECT * FROM [Image] ORDER BY [Date] DESC;" Dim cn As New OleDbConnection(cs) Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(sql, cn) Dim r As OleDbDataReader Dim s As String cn.Open() r = cmd.ExecuteReader() s = "" Do While r.Read() s = s + " " + Format(r("Date"), "ddd dd MMM yyyy") + " " s = s + r("Title") + " " Loop lblRes.InnerHtml = s End Sub

29. Mark Dixon Page 29 Example: PACS_CS.aspx void Page_Load(){ string cs = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + "Data Source=" + Server.MapPath("PACS.mdb") + ";" + "Persist Security Info=False"; string sql = "SELECT * FROM [Image] ORDER BY [Date] DESC;"; OleDbConnection cn = new OleDbConnection(cs); OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(sql, cn); OleDbDataReader r; string s; cn.Open(); r = cmd.ExecuteReader(); s = ""; while(r.Read()){ s = s + " " + String.Format("{0:ddd dd MMM yyyy}", r["Date"]) + " "; s = s + r["Title"] + " "; }; lblRes.InnerHtml = s; }
