Flow control in the HTML?

[columbo2]

This is a beginners question - sorry in advance if it is a bad question...

In classic ASP you could put script into the html to change what HTML is shown.
E.G. If I want to show one table if a querystring equals acertain value and another table if the querystring equals someother value - i could do this...

<% an if statement %>
some html
<% an else statement %>
some other html

Can you do this style of thing in ASP.net?
Or is it considered bad (or not possible).
I'm basically trying to avoid having separate pages for an input form to a DB and a display form from the DB

Thanks in advance

one option is to design WebUserControls for each dynamic section. then you can place these WUCs on any page you want. there are a couple of ways to implement them.

1. place both WUCs on a page. on the Init or Load event hide the one that is not needed.
2. dynamically load the required control in the Init event based on a condition. Note: dynamically created controls need to be added at every postback and must be done in the Init phase to ensure the page life cycle events apply to the WUC.

for future reference there is a forum specifically dedicated to forum855
