Midterm 2

Due 3/3/2008 before 4PM

This is a test and as such you are not to discuss any part of it with anybody except the instructor. I am in the phone book and you may call me to seek clarifications (at reasonable times). Read the following declaration and sign after you have completed the test.

I have neither given nor received aid.

Name and signature:

For this test you will demonstrate the usefulness of two ASP.NET characteristics: PostBack and ViewState.

Using your book, or other sources, write a paragraph about each – what it is, when is it used, why is used, etc. Then write an ASP.NET application (a trivial one will do) that demonstrates its usefulness and place in an application. Make sure the matter you write is in your own words and you acknowledge and cite the source(s) of your explanations.

Graduate Students

In addition to the above problem, provide an overview, with an example, of using a new feature available with ASP.NET 2.0: Data Source Controls.
