Introduction to ASP.NET with VB.NET

ASP.NET is a framework developed by Microsoft that allows developers to build dynamic and interactive web applications. VB.NET is a programming language that can be used with ASP.NET to create web applications with server-side scripting.

Syntax

In ASP.NET, code is written in a page or a separate code-behind file. VB.NET code is written in code blocks that are delimited by the "<%" and "%>" symbols. For example:

<%
    Dim myVariable As String = "Hello, World!"
    Response.Write(myVariable)
%>

Here, we have defined a variable myVariable and assigned it the value "Hello, World!". We then use the Response.Write() method to output the value to the webpage.

Example

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
    <title>Hello, World!</title>
</head>
<body>
    <%
        Dim name As String = Request.QueryString("name")
        If String.IsNullOrEmpty(name) Then
    %>
        <form>
            <label for="name">Enter your name:</label>
            <input type="text" id="name" name="name">
            <button>Submit</button>
        </form>
    <% Else %>
        <p>Hello, <%= name %>!</p>
    <% End If %>
</body>
</html>

Output

If no query parameter is provided:

Enter your name:

[Submit Button]

If a query parameter is provided (e.g. ?name=John):

Hello, John!

Explanation

In the above example, we have created an ASP.NET page that allows the user to enter their name and displays a personalized greeting. We use VB.NET code to read the query string parameter name and display the appropriate content based on whether or not it exists.
