i know i have seen this but cant recall the correct way of doing it... basically i have a string variable called "string clients" in my .cs file.. but i wasn't to be able to pass it to my aspx page something like
<%=clients%>
please correct me, i do not recall or not sure how to do this. (new to c#) and when i googled it.. it was not clear.. or not many of these out there.. searched as
"asp.net c# <%= %> not consistent results.. maybe because i do not know how to call these..
Make sure that you have compiled your *.cs file before browsing the ASPX page.
In your code behind file, have a public variable
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
public string clients;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// your code that at one points sets the variable
this.clients = "abc";
}
}
now in your design code, just assign that to something, like:
<div>
<p><%= clients %></p>
</div>
or even a javascript variable
<script type="text/javascript">
var clients = '<%= clients %>';
</script>
I would create a property to access the variable, like this:
protected string Test
{
get; set;
}
And in your markup:
<%= this.Test %>
First you have to make sure the access level of the variable is protected or public. If the variable or property is private the page won't have access to it.
Code Behind
protected String Clients { get; set; }
Aspx
<span><%=Clients %> </span>
The HelloFromCsharp.aspx look like this
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="HelloFromCsharp.aspx.cs" Inherits="Test.HelloFromCsharp" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<p>
<%= clients%>
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
And the HelloFromCsharp.aspx.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
namespace Test
{
public partial class HelloFromCsharp : System.Web.UI.Page
{
public string clients;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
clients = "Hello From C#";
}
}
}
For
<%=clients%>
to work you need to have a public or protected variable clients in the code-behind.
Here is an article that explains it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6c3yckfw.aspx
You need to declare your clients variable as public, e.g.
public string clients;
but you should probably do it as a Property, e.g.
private string clients;
public string Clients{ get{ return clients; } set {clients = value;} }
And then you can call it in your .aspx page like this:
<%=Clients%>
Variables in C# are private by default. Read more on access modifiers in C# on MSDN and properties in C# on MSDN
You can access a public/protected property using the data binding expression <%# myproperty %> as given below:
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="<%#CodeBehindVarPublic %>"></asp:Label>
you should call DataBind method, otherwise it can't be evaluated.
public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
public string CodeBehindVarPublic { get; set; }
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CodeBehindVarPublic ="xyz";
//you should call the next line in case of using <%#CodeBehindVarPublic %>
DataBind();
}
}
