I new to using web applications. I am currently using visual studio 2013 and I have created a web application. I would like to have a form that employees fill out and then when they hit submit the form will either add, change or delete from the database. From researching I originally tried making a web form. This did not allow me to keep the formatting that was made on my master page, and when I tried connecting it to the master page it did not allow it because of the <form>
. So then I created a web form with master page. This allows me to keep the formatting from the master page but now I am unable to create a form using <form>
. So my question is how do I create a form that will submit and still keep the formatting from my master page?
Master Page:
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Site.master.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1.SiteMaster" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
