Source code examples

Below are three examples of a Hello World application written in PHP, Java and ASP.Net.

PHP

<?php
 
      require "ipfaces-php-lib-1.1.php";
 
      $ipf_form = new IPFForm();
      $ipf_screen = $ipf_form->addScreen("screen", "First Application");
      $ipf_screen->addLabel("label", "Hello World");
      $ipf_form->render();
?>

Java

<%@ taglib prefix="ipf" uri="http://www.ipfaces.org/tags" %>
<ipf:form>
	<ipf:screen title="First Application">
		<ipf:label text="Hello World"/>
	</ipf:screen>
</ipf:form>

ASP.Net

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="FirstApplication.aspx.cs" Inherits="HelloWorld._Default" %>
 
<%@ Register Assembly="iPFaces.NET" Namespace="Org.IPFaces.Net.Controls" TagPrefix="ipf" %>
 
<ipf:Form ID="form1" runat="server">
    <ipf:Screen ID="screen1" runat="server" Title="iPFaces Form">
        <ipf:Label ID="label1" runat="server"/>
    </ipf:Screen>
</ipf:Form>

This code represents the visual representation of the application.

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections;
using Org.IPFaces.Net.Controls;
using Org.IPFaces.Net.Pages;

{
    public partial class _Default : Org.IPFaces.Net.Pages.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            label1.Text="Hello World!";
        }
    }
