package ASPPlus {
   
    class codeBehind extends System.Web.UI.Page {
   
      public var message : System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label;
	
      public function Page_Load(sender:Object, E:System.EventArgs) : void {
        message.Text = "Hello World, Code Behind";
      }
    }

  }

The package statement defines a namespace, ASPPlus in this case. We define one class in this namespace, codeBehind. This class is an extension of the System.Web.UI.Page base class. Our class includes one property and one function. We use the message property to set the message content of "Hello World, Code Behind". Actually, message is the ID attribute of the ASP:Label control in the ASP.NET page. This is how we link between the ASP.NET page and the JScript .NET code. Notice that message is of type System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label:

  public var message : System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label;

  public function Page_Load(sender:Object, E:System.EventArgs) : void {
    message.Text = "Hello World, Code Behind";
  }
