I want to add a button using <%= Html.Button()%> and also I want to set button width, back color, etc. I am using the following code for this, but I am getting error: <%= Html.Button("btnLogin", this.GetLocalResourceObject("btnLogin").ToString(), "javascript:Login();", new Style { Width = 100 })%>

How I can write this?

What is Html.Button? Is it something you've implemented yourself? I don't recognize it as a standard construct...

[Edit: I didn't notice this was in the MVC forum. I'll just keep my mouth shut ;-)]

<%= Html.Button()%>: Html.Button() is an extension method to create html button. This is used in Asp.Net MVC Framework.

 All of the 'normal' attributes get passed in as part of the object HtmlAttributes parameter. So you would do something like this..

<% object parms = new{ onclick="javascript:Login();", style="width:100px" } ; %>
<%= Html.Button("btnLogin", "Login", parms) %>

  

I forget the order of the Button() parameters. I'm pretty sure name is first then caption, then HtmlAttributes. You can always include the object code inline within the argument list for Button(), I just like to do it like I have it above.

VinBrown:

<% object parms = new{ onclick="javascript:Login();", style="width:100px" } ; %> <%= Html.Button("btnLogin", "Login", parms) %>

The above coge is giving error. I tried this again today, and my code works. We can do it as below:

<%= Html.Button("btnLogin", "Login", "javascript:Login();", new { style = "width:100px" })%>

 Interesting. Which version of MVC are you using? Glad to see you worked it out.

I am using the latest version.

"javascript:" is only to be used in URLs, and it's a really really really poor way of using javascript, and shows one should go read a tutorial !
It's onclick="login()" if anything.
I'll recomend reading up about how javscript works here: http://w3schools.com/jsref/default.asp

The correct implementation would be

<%= Html.Button("btnLogin",this.GetLocalResourceObject("btnLogin").ToString(),"Login()",new { style="width: 100px" }) %>

producing following HTML:

<button  style="width: 100px"  onclick="Login()"  name="btnLogin"  id="btnLogin"  >Login</button>
