Step 2: Backend Logic – ReverseString.aspx.cs

using System;

public partial class ReverseString : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    }

    protected void btnReverse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string input = txtInput.Text.Trim();

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(input))
        {
            lblResult.Text = "Please enter a string.";
            lblResult.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
            return;
        }

        string reversed = ReverseWithoutBuiltin(input);

        lblResult.Text = $"Reversed String: {reversed}";
        lblResult.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
    }

    private string ReverseWithoutBuiltin(string str)
    {
        char[] chars = str.ToCharArray();
        string rev = "";

        for (int i = chars.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
        {
            rev += chars[i];
        }

        return rev;
    }
}
