Creating an ASP.NET 2.0 Polling User Control: Building the Polling User Control   29 Aug 2007 00:00 GMT

Welcome to the second article in a three-part series on building a polling User Control. In the first installment, Design Decisions and the Data Model, we looked at the design decisions made prior to creating the control as well as the poll's data model, which consisted of three tables in a SQL Server 2005 database.

We are now ready to start building the poll's user interface. Since my poll control only allows authenticated users to vote, if an anonymous visitor reaches the poll or if the authenticated user has already voted then the User Control displays the results of the poll in a read-only interface. If visited by an authenticated user who has yet to take the poll, it allows the user to vote, after which the results are stored in the database and the results displayed to the user.

In addition to building the polling User Control, we'll also look at how to add the poll to a web page. Read on to learn more!
