A new starter! (with questions)

Question

Hi, I am a new starter with asp.net and c#. I have coded a simple page using a code behind file. I have used a server control and wired up the page_load method event in the c# file. In the page_load method I have tried to set the property of the Label text. When the page is displayed the label is blank. My question is can I not set the label text property in the page class load method? Thanks. Mark

Answer 2

I found a couple of used C# programming books from O'Reilly (good ones) used on Amazon for $8 each.

Answer 3

I would very much recommend Microsoft C# Programming for the Absolute Beginner, by Andy Harris ($30.00 at Amazon or Borders). It teaches you the basics of C# through simple games, which, fun as they are, really do get the point across. At the end of each chapter you are given some ways to improve or change the game that you worked on in that chapter, which stretches your thinking a bit. I hope this helps : )

Your most useful source is at msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp. MSDN documentation is also built into Visual Studio for offline access as an easy, quick reference. These 2 sources will help you overcome most issues by your own discovery, which is a helluva lot better than someone else telling you how to do it. Your second most useful source is forums like these, IMO. c-sharpcorner.com, csharphelp.com, dotnet247.com, dotnetjunkies.com, thecodeproject.com, all have decent communities that are willing to help you if you've got a problem. thecodeproject.com I'd say has the best community of them all. Books are good once you've had experience. IME, books seem too difficult to grasp if it's discussing a topic in which you've never written code before. I prefer the MSDN & .Net communities route, but that's just me. :)
