<%# vs. <%=

[CJLeit]

I'm modifying an existing .net website and in the HTML the previous developer using <%# Function Name %> several times in his HTML to call a function and return the value to the screen. I've always used <%= Function Name %>to do the same thing. Is there a difference in the 2 methods of doing this?

 

Thanks!

ASP.Net tags

 

Code enclosed by <% ... %> is just executed, while code enclosed by <%= ... %> is evaluated and the result is emitted as content. Code located within a <%# ... %> code block is only executed when the DataBind method of its parent control container is invoked.

 

Good luck :cool:
