Binding Expressions

[jumbojs]

Hello,

If I wanted to use a method and return a value to use as a property value to a control like this.

<asp:Label ID="test" runat="server" Visible='<%#IsVisible()%'></asp:Label>

Will this work? And why doesn't this work

<asp:Label ID="test" runat="server" Visible='<%=IsVisible()%'></asp:Label>

Can you explain what happens between # and = and the difference.

Thanks

This:

<%=  %>

Is shorthand for Response.Write( )...it's shorthand for this:

<%Response.Write("...")%>

Therefore this won't work in your code.

However this:

<%#  %>

Is used for binding to a data source. This will work. See this article on ASP.NET data binding.
