Hi, I'm facing a little problem with an ASP.Net DataList Template. Inside
this Template I put an asp:linkButton control and set it's text to "Click
me". When I tryed to get the value from a Resource with a ResourceManager
object and write it to the control's text property inside the Template I got
a blank string:

<asp:LinkButton CommandArgument="1" OnClick="DoSth">
<%= resMang.GetString("linkButtonString")%>
</asp:LinkButton>

Then I tryed to build this Template by code and things got worse, the code
above is sent right to the browser.

Does anyone knows how to use a resource string to set a web server control's
text property in an ASP.Net Web Form?


Thanks a lot,
Victor

Hi Victor,

<%= %> is used in page's template but can't be embeded in webcontrol's
server tag.
You can set the value in page's codebehind file. Or use the DataBinding
expression like
<%# helperfunction name %>

of cource, you need to call the control.DataBind or Page.DataBind to make
the expression get executed.

HTH. tHANKS.
