As in like to populate a form element or something? What are you going to use this variable for?
In the CodeBehind:
In the asp.net page:
Code:
Public Class MyWebForm
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Public a As String
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
a = "test"
End Sub
End ClassIn the asp.net page:
Code:
<body>
<% Response.Write(a) %>
</body>yeah.
if i put the response.write(temp) just in normal html then its okay but if i put it in with the url link thing it doesnt work.
is this not a very good way of doing it? What i was gonna do was read some values from a database in the code behind and fill a dataset. Then in the html code loop through the dataset, filling url objects with urls and descriptions.
I know u can use a datagrid but i was trying to stay away from that.

Response.Write() should be working, but if for some reason its not you could alternatively try;
<%=temp%>
**EDIT**
Okay I know why.. you have to bind the variable. To do that use;
<%# temp %>
And then in your page load you need to make sure the control gets bound by doing this;
yourHyperLinkID.DataBind()
or if you want to make sure all controls on your page are bound (if you have several that bind data), instead of binding one at a time, you can just do this;
Me.DataBind()
Heres a sample I wrote up in C# real quick (can easily be converted to VB)
<%=temp%>

C#:
<Script runat="Server" Language="C#">
string temp = "stuff";
void Page_Load() {
link1.DataBind();
}
</Script>
<html>
<body>
<asp:HyperLink id="link1" NavigateUrl="http://www.somepage.com"
runat="server"><%# temp %></asp:HyperLink>
</html>
</body>
