# Getting Started with the Telerik WebForms Button

The following tutorial demonstrates how to set up a page with a **RadButton** control and attach its **OnClick** server event:

1. In the default page of a new ASP.NET AJAX-enabled Web Application add a **RadButton** control:

   ```ASP.NET
   <telerik:RadButton RenderMode="Lightweight" id="RadButton1" runat="server" text="My Button">
   </telerik:RadButton>
   ```

   The **Text** property specifies the text displayed in the **RadButton** control.

2. To hook to the **OnClick** server-side event of **RadButton** switch to Design view of Visual Studio and double click on the button. This operation will insert the following function in the code behind file:

   ```C#
   protected void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
   }
   ```

   ```VB
   Protected Sub RadButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
   End Sub
   ```

   as well as add `OnClick="RadButton1_Click"` to the **RadButton**'s declaration.In the Click event handler add the code that you want to be executed when the **RadButton** control is clicked.
