Dynamically load an ASP Page

[J.Marsch]

I'm pretty new to ASP.Net
(server side)
Suppose that I have an instance of an ASP Page class, and I want the
client's web browser to load it.

I don't necessarily know the URL of the page that I have, I just have an
instance of it. How do I make the browser load the page.

If I were writing winform code, it would be something like this:

MyFormClass oForm = new MyFormClass();
oForm.Show();

Hello Jeremy,

It seems that you have some misunderstanding here.

In windows forms application, there is a startup point to run the application. After that, the code runs under user interaction, like
typical win32 applications. So you could initialize a form and then show it in the code.

But for asp.net web forms appliation, things are different. It is based on HTTP request/response model. In order to run a
page, you need to request it from a client's browser. After it is request, asp.net wil run server side code and send response to
the client. So there is no way to initialize a page and display it like a windows forms. But, you could use functions to open a
new page in client side, such as showModalDialog.

For details, I suggest you refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-
us/vbcon/html/vboriCreatingApplicationsInVBVCs.asp?frame=true.

Thanks very much.
