<% %> Magic

Hi,

This blog post summarizes a few approaches of <% %> Magic.

Message Retrieval from Resource Files	var msg = '<%=GetLocalResourceObject("ValidationMsg")%>' var msg = '<%=GetGlobalResourceObject("PageTitle", "DebtParametersOther")%>'; var msg = '<%=GetGlobalResourceObject("PageTitle", "DebtParametersOther").ToString().EncodeQuotes()%>'; // Code at Server Side public static string EncodeQuotes(this string value) { return value.Replace("'", "&#39").Replace("\"", "&#34;"); }
Text Property in UI	<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources: LabelHeader %>"></asp:Label> // // Local Resource <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="<%$ Resources:Messages, LabelHeader %>"></asp:Label> // Global Resource
Eval in Grid	<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="<%$ Resources:GridviewHeader %>"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:LinkButton id="linkButton" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.DocNumber") %>' ></asp:LinkButton> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="<%$ Resources:GridviewHeader %>"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:LinkButton id="linkButton" Text='<%# Eval(“DocNumber") %>' ></asp:LinkButton> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField>
Document. getElementById	var lblNoError = window.document.getElementById('<%=lblNoError.ClientID %>');
Retrieving value from Server Side in JS	function HelloTime() { alert('<%= GetTime() %>'); } // Code at Server Side public string GetTime() { return DateTime.Now.ToString(); }
