....can anyone direct me towards a form processor. i am switching from basic
ASP to .NET and am a little confused on how the form data is processed. I
plan on the data being sent via email, and to MySQL dbase. thanks all....
 
Tony,

If you use native ASP.NET controls, you do not need to worry about using
HTML forms and then processing them. There is a thing called ViewState which
is an encoded way that .NET pushes information to and from the client. As far
as you are concerned on the server-side, all you need to do is to check the
values of your controls properties, E.g txtFirstname.Text and the control
will have the appropriate values as submitted by the client. You can use the
Page_Load event to check these values as they will have been processed into a
simple server-side object by the time this event executes. Similarly, if you
were to set the value of the text property within this event, the user would
see it client-side after the page is rendered within their browser.

Hope this helps.

-Eric
