I'm fairly new to programming and the .net framework, I'm trying to create a registration page that would require users to move from one step to another. There would be a button at the bottom of each page that takes the user to the next page, however is there a way I can do this without haveing to create multiple pages. I've tried creating multiple forms in the asp.net page but i can't add server controls to the other forms as they don't have the attribute "runat='server'".
Please help, how do i go about it?
Several ways you can accomplish this:
Put each section in its own div and use javascript to show/hide each section
Put each section in its own asp:Panel and show/hide each section on postback
Put each section in its own page and capture postback from previous page on the next page
Use the ASP.NET Wizard control: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w7dyf6b5%28v=vs.100%29.ASPX
Using Jquery you can get multiple page form facility.......

I have an asp.net page which runs many functions in the page_load. Thus making the page so slowly. I want the page to be shown to the user first and then run the functions inside the page load. Is that anyway I can show the page first and then run the code inside the page_load?
First I suggest you move to MVC and don't use webforms which is so old.
In both ways you can split the HTML markup + Javascript code without using webforms controllers, Then simply using the javascript onPageLoad event and there fire the ajax reqeusts to the server..
If you really really want to use the controllers of webforms you can see the page lifecycle here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.page_events(v=vs.110).aspx then you can use for instance the PreRender event.
In a couple Tutorials that have been suggested on this site on integrating bootstrap with ASP.Net Web Forms, they suggest that the form tag be removed from the master page. Here is one tutorial where they leave in the form tag:
On the asp.net site where it describes master pages, it mentions why there is a form tag in the master page:
A Web Form (the <form runat="server">) - because all ASP.NET pages typically have a Web Form - and because the master page may include Web controls that must appear within a Web Form - be sure to add the Web Form to your master page (rather than adding a Web Form to each content page).
A lot of the asp controls I use in the master page and content pages require a parent form tag, therefore it would be cumbersome to remove this parent form tag on my master page.
Why is it necessary to remove the form tag from the master page when adding bootstrap to the site? Does bootstrap not work properly when its inside of a form tag?
Bootstrap works fine with the form tag in the master page. Just keep in mind that you are probably going to have to tweak/override styles a little bit here and there. For the most part it is very minor though. I have not found any compelling reason to remove the form tag from the master page.
I'm developing a web template using asp.net and c#, which contains 3 parts. I handle the partial refreshing of the page with using updatepanel.
As you can see in picture below, the first parts is the top menu which is refreshed; the left sub menu, then the left sub menu refresh the middle panel(Details) and shows all the detail which contains a table with insert, delete, edit and paging buttons. I used a listview to develop the tables.
I have more than 50 modules similar to this which contain a table with some buttons, and if I put all the tables in the same page the page, the code would be very huge. That's why I came up with the idea to put each table in separate page and just load each page in the 3rd panel.
I have gone through the Uframe but I couldn't use it at my page properly.
I would really appreciate that anybody help me to overcome this problem, to load separate aspx page in 3rd panel, but without using iframe, or guide me how to use the uframe step by step. Or if you have another idea to get rid of this problem.
This is exactly the type of situation that Master Pages were intended for. Master pages allow you to define a consistent look for pages, with as much content as you like on the Master, and the parts that change in a "child" page (in the ContentTemplate)
Master Pages are documented here and there is an introduction to Master Pages video here.
Master pages can absolutely work with an UpdatePanel as well. This is documented specifically here.
I have being developing a form with the wizard control. The final step is a summary of the content that has been entered by the user as a confirmation step before submit the form.
These summary sections also catgorised into visual sections that corresponds with the each WizardSteps.
Each summary section is provided with an edit button that should allow user to edit the content then and there and update the content.
However the form should work without javascript so no use of AJAX. I'm not sure how this can be achieved? Is there a way to assign corresponding WizardStep to a placeholder onClick of the "EDIT" button for that summary section or is there any other way to do this?
Personally i would not bother trying to create a website in asp.net were one specification was that it should have to work without javascript. It is possible but your options are very limited. Here is a list of controls that don't work without javascript. I'm afraid wizard is one of them. If you must not use javascript you are going to have to create your own control that mimics what the wizard does but without JS.
How do I get value of a textbox that's placed in the masterpage?
I agree with Pete.
Sometimes it is convenient to put general items into the master page. In contrast to classic asp.net it is harder to get the value with every post. In classic asp.net there is only one formular on the html page wich will be posted and all works well. In mvc there could be more formulars on the page. You have to put the textbox into a every form to get the value in every post - no solution.
A custom user control (ascx) might be a solution. Put the textbox in and place the custom control into the form where you need the value. If you have more forms or a complicated layout, than it is no solution.
A hidden field might be a solution. Replicate value changes of your original textbox into hidden fields placed in the formulars where you need the value.
I would find another solution. The purpose of master pages is to decouple the general layout from the specific pages (or controllers). You should be free to change the master pages without breaking the application.
