Exercises

1. In the Login.aspx page you created earlier, modify the targetSchema property of the page and view the source of the output in the browser. What's the difference, if any?
2. ASP.NET has great visual controls, such as the DataList, Repeater, and DataGrid. Using the QuickStart tutorials, look up the samples of those controls, and become familiar with what you can do with them.
3. Using what you learned about session state, add code to the Login.aspx page to store username information in a session variable named UserID. When you're redirected to the Success.aspx page, retrieve the UserID session variable and display it on the page.
