Question

Given the code on the content page:

Are you sure you want to add another <asp:Literal runat="server" id="Name1" /> to the basket?  
You already have a <asp:Literal runat="server" id="Name2" /> in your basket.  
<asp:Literal runat="server" id="Name3" /> has not yet been added to your basket.

And then in the codebehind:

Name1.Text = Product.Name;
Name2.Text = Product.Name;
Name3.Text = Product.Name;

I’m pretty sure this isn’t the greatest way to go about things, is there an ASP.net feature or a design pattern I’m unaware of?

Answer 1

Why don’t you use string.Format?

String.Format("Are you sure you want to add another {0} to the basket? You already have a {0} in your basket. {0} has not yet been added to your basket.", Product.Name)
