I'm playing around with inline code blocks in asp.net. Can somebody tell me why the following code doesn't work?
<%@ Language="C#" %>
<%
Response.Write(TestClass.ShowMessage());
public class TestClass
{
public static string ShowMessage()
{
return "This worked!!";
}
}
%>
I get the following error message: CS1513: } expected
You’ve got the Response.Write floating there outside of a function.
Why are you not placing this code in a script tag:
<script runat="Server">
public class TestClass
{
public static string ShowMessage()
{
return "This worked!!";
}
}
</script>
Then:
<%=TestClass.ShowMessage()%>
Note the <%=expr%> is handled specially.
Many consider this to be an impure approach. You could do this:
<script runat="Server">
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
litMessage = TestClass.ShowMessage();
}
</script>
<asp:literal id="litMessage" runat="server" />
I think to be able to write a whole class you need to place it inside a tag block
<script runat="server" language="C#">
//Put your class here
</script>
