How do I call a static method when I press a button?

Question

Currently, I have this all laid out:

public static string Encrypt<T>(string anything)
{
 //Stuff can go here
}

When I press a button, I want to be able to run ALL the code in Encrypt. Is it possible to do this, and if it is, how can I?

Answer 1

Suppose your aspx button is

<asp:Button runat="server" text="Encrypt" id="btnencrypt" onclick="btnencrypt_Click" />

Your server side event will be like this:

protected void btnencrypt_Click(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
    // Supposing that the Encrypt method is not in the current class.
    OtherClass.Encrypt(anystring);
}

If the Encrypt method is in the same class then you can directly write the method name like:

Encrypt(anystring);

You don't need the . So your Encrypt method will be like:

public static string Encrypt(string inputstring)
{
    //Encryption code.
}

Hope u get your answer from this...

Answer 2

Let's say your button in your ASPX could be written this way:

<asp:Button runat="server" text="Encrypt" onclick="encrypt_click" />

Let's say the cs page behind your ASPX page (Code-behind) could be written like

protected void encrypt_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Encrypt(text);
}

Is this what you are looking for?
