Question

I have a button and a label. on clicking on that button i want to change the text of label. How can i do this in Asp.net mvc 1.0.

Do you want this to be changed client-side or server side? Where is the data coming from? — madcapnmckay

Do you have <asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server"/> and <asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" /> or you have an <input type="submit" /> and <span>? — msi

you should check out the videos over at www.asp.net/mvc for an introduction to basic MVC.. Best place to start! MVC does not behave the way one is used to from Webforms. — Yngve B-Nilsen

Unlike in ASP.NET Webforms, there are no events in ASP.NET MVC!

You could use HtmlHelper.ActionLink to create a link to the current view with a parameter containing the new label text.

For simple things that don't really deserve a parameter I would simply use JavaScript though.
