How do I programmatically set property of control in aspx file ?
- by Thomas Wanner
This may be a very dumb question but I can't seem to get it working. I use at many places the following syntax for dynamically binding a property of a control in aspx file to the resource entry, e.g.
<SomeFunnyControl Text="<%$ Resources : ResClass, ResEntry %>" />
I want to do a similar thing with a class containing some constants, something like
<SomeFunnyControl Text="<%= MyConstantsClass.MyStringConstant %>" />
But this doesn't seem to work, it simply sets the text to the exact expression without evaluating it. I am using ASP.NET 3.5 btw.
I have tried the databinding approach but I get an HttpParseException saying
Databinding expressions are only
supported on objects that have a
DataBinding event.
