Definition and Usage

The HtmlForm control is used to control a <form> element. In HTML, the <form> element is used to create a form.

Note: All HTML server controls must be within the HtmlForm control!

Note: You can only have one HtmlForm control on a single page!


Properties

Property Description
Action A URL that defines where to send the data when the form is submitted.

Note: This attribute is always set to the URL of the page itself!

Attributes Returns all attribute name and value pairs of the element
Disabled A Boolean value that indicates whether or not the control should be disabled. Default is false
EncType The mime type used to encode the content of the form
id A unique id for the control
InnerHtml Sets or returns the content between the opening and closing tags of the HTML element. Special characters are not automatically converted to HTML entities
InnerText Sets or returns all text between the opening and closing tags of the HTML element. Special characters are automatically converted to HTML entities

Examples

HTMLForm
In this example we declare one HtmlInputText controls, one HtmlInputButton control, and one HtmlGeneric control in an .aspx file (remember to embed the controls inside an HtmlForm control). When the submit button is triggered, the submit subroutine is executed. The submit subroutine writes a welcome message to the p element.

Web Load and Performance Testing   

WAPT is a load, stress and performance testing tool for websites and web-based applications. In contrast to "800-pound gorilla" load testing tools, it is designed to minimize the learning curve and give you an ability to create a heavy load from a regular workstation. WAPT is able to generate up to 3000 simultaneously acting virtual users using standard hardware configuration. Virtual users in each profile are fully customizable. Basic and NTLM authentication methods are supported. Graphs and reports are shown in real-time at different levels of detail, thus helping to manage the testing process.
