A subroutine that runs in response to a message, or event, that occurs to an object. For example, when users click a button, the event handler for the button s Click event will run.
A message sent by an object in response to user gesture or a change in state. For example, when users click a button, the button raises a Click event. When a page first runs, the page s Load event is raised.
Changing, or casting, the data type of a value by calling a function such as CType. You must perform explicit conversion if your program needs to change the data type of a value but Visual Basic .NET can t perform implicit conversion on the value.
Software that monitors traffic coming into a computer and denies or permits access to computer resources according to rules (policy) that you specify.
A pattern or mask used to configure and display a string. For example, using a format expression, you can format a string of 10 digits into a recognizable phone number. Other format expressions allow you to format dates, times, and numbers in different ways.
A reference to an object that includes the namespace in which the object is defined. For example, the fully qualified name for the Button object is System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button. ASP.NET automatically references about a dozen of the most commonly used namespaces. To refer to objects in other namespaces, however, you must either use a fully qualified name or reference (import) the namespace in the page.
A discrete block of code that can be called as needed and that returns a single value after performing a calculation or other task.
Changing, or casting, the data type of a value automatically. Visual Basic .NET can perform implicit conversion in certain cases, such as converting an integer to a string when you display the integer as the Text property of a Label or TextBox control.
A single, discrete example of a class. For example, when you drag a button onto a Web page, you re creating a single instance of the Button class. Each new button you drag onto the page is a new instance of the Button class.
In SQL Server, a security option in which users log on to SQL Server using their Windows credentials and do not have to supply an explicit user name and password. Contrast mixed-mode security.
