ASP.NET pages may include JScript .NET code, much the same as an HTML page may include JavaScript code. JScript .NET uses the intrinsic event handler, Page_Load():

  public function Page_Load(sender:Object, E:EventArgs) : void {
    resultControl.Enabled = false;
  }
The server always runs the Page_Load() function when loading an ASP.NET page. The name of the function should always be Page_Load() or else the server won't do what you want it to do when loading the page. In this particular case, we disable the result ASP:TEXTBOX field (resultControl), because it is used only for displaying a calculation result:

  resultControl.Enabled = false;
