Question

I am creating an object at server side of an aspx (test.cs) page from a class (asp.net 2.0 C#)

public partial class Vendor_VendorUsedTicketsPopup : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    ReportInvoice _objReportInvoice = new ReportInvoice();

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        _objReportInvoice.ReportId = 1;
    }
}

as you see above before Page Load I am creating a new ReportInvoice object and on page load I am setting property ReportId to 1

On test.aspx I want to use the ReportId value bu using the _objReportInvoice object like below

<div><% _objReportInvoice.ReportId; %></div>

But when I build the site I get the error
The name ‘_objReport’ does not exist in the current context

I know that I can create a public integer for ReportId above Page_Load and use it on aspx page. That works fine , but I want to use class object properties on aspx page.

What is the way of doing sth like that ?

Thanks…

You need a = sign in there to print it to the page:

<div><%= _objReportInvoice.ReportId; %></div>

However, I would suggest just using a Literal or Label control there and then setting it’s text to the ReportID property in the code behind. Inline code like that can make your HTML messy.
