Step 2: Backend Logic – SumAndAverage.aspx.cs

using System;
using System.Linq;

public partial class SumAndAverage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    }

    protected void btnCalculate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string input = txtNumbers.Text.Trim();

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(input))
        {
            lblResult.Text = "Please enter numbers separated by commas.";
            lblResult.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
            return;
        }

        try
        {
            // Split input into array and convert to integers
            int[] numbers = input.Split(',').Select(n => Convert.ToInt32(n.Trim())).ToArray();

            int sum = numbers.Sum();
            double average = numbers.Average();

            lblResult.Text = $"Array Elements: {string.Join(", ", numbers)}\n\n" +
                             $"Sum of Elements: {sum}\n" +
                             $"Average of Elements: {average:F2}";
            lblResult.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
        }
        catch
        {
            lblResult.Text = "Invalid input! Please enter only numbers separated by commas.";
            lblResult.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
        }
    }
}

Real-Time Example Flow

Open SumAndAverage.aspx in your browser.
Enter:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50
Click “Calculate Sum & Average”

Output

Array Elements: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50

Sum of Elements: 150
Average of Elements: 30.00

Explanation

Step	Description
1	Accept comma-separated numbers from the user.
2	Convert the string into an integer array using Split() and Select().
3	Use LINQ functions Sum() and Average() to calculate results.
4	Display both values in a clear formatted output.

Example Input / Output Table

Input	Output (Sum / Average)
10, 20, 30, 40, 50	Sum = 150, Average = 30.00
5, 15, 25	Sum = 45, Average = 15.00
100, 200, 300, 400	Sum = 1000, Average = 250.00
7, 14, 21, 28, 35	Sum = 105, Average = 21.00
