Question

I should know this by now, but I don’t, and for some reason, I am not finding the answer on Google, so I thought I’d try here.

I know that <%= %> is the equivalent of Response.Write()

And I’ve seen <%# %> for databinding.

However, today I noticed something new, and even though I can see what it’s doing, I am looking for the official documentation on this. In one of my web pages, I see

ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:SomeConnectionString %>"

So what does <%$ %> do?

Answer 1

Used for expressions, not code; often seen with DataSources
