Sometimes, using Code Behind is too complicated for a simple task. You can put your JScript .NET code in the ASP.NET page directly. Here is the Hello World application in one piece, for your reference: 

  <%@ Page LANGUAGE="JScript" %>
  <HTML>
  <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Hello World Test</TITLE>
  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript" RUNAT="server">
  public function Page_Load(sender:Object, E:System.EventArgs) : void {
    message.Text = "Hello World, Code Behind";
  }
  </SCRIPT>
  </HEAD>
  <BODY STYLE="font-size:12; font-family:arial,verdana,sans-serif;">
    <FORM RUNAT="server">
      <P ALIGN="center"><ASP:LABEL ID="message" RUNAT="server"></ASP:LABEL></P>
    </FORM>
  </BODY>
  </HTML>
As you can see, the principles are the same. The Page_Load() function is invoked automatically when the page loads. It sets the Text property of the message ID to "Hello World, Code Behind". This ASP.NET file is self-sufficient, and you don't need to import any classes.
