The Dojo Toolkit Wizard vs. Microsoft`s Web Wizard - Screen shots from Microsoft's Wizard server control

(Page 2 of 4 )

The Microsoft wizard control comes from the respected family whose antecedents go back to the System.Object.

System.Object System.Web.UI.Control
  System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl
    System.Web.UI.WebControls.CompositeControl
      System.Web.UI.WebControls.Wizard
        System.Web.UI.WebControls.CreateUserWizard

For the purpose of side-by-side comparison some of the shots from the previous article are reproduced. The wizard in the quoted article went through three steps and presented the result of the tasks in its final screen as shown in the following pictures. The hyperlinks in the navigation side were unused.

In Step 1 it takes an input from the user, his name.

In Step 2 the wizard asks for the date of his last visit. Should the user change his mind he can change the date and verify in the textbox.

In Step 3 the wizard just consolidates the information in the back ground.

In Step 4 the final finish task is displayed. All this has taken place without the page refresh. As the task is trivial very little code was needed.
