Question

i have a method in my back end that i would like to call from my front end, but can’t seem to get it working. here is my code:

<% foreach(string item in Plants){ %>

    <li>
        <span class="folder">
            <asp:label ID="lblPlantName" runat="server" Text='<% GetPlantName(item) %>'></asp:label>
        </span>
    </li>

<%} %>

the getplantName method should return a string and fill the text in. But this is not getting called for some reason.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Answer 1

Please use <%= GetPlantName(item) %> instead of <% GetPlantName(item) %> and method should be Public or Protected.
