Question

I use asp.net and C# 4.

I would like to know if is possible and how to retrieve a “Normal” (not asp.net) element in Code Behind.

For instance: I have a <li></li>, I would like get it from my logic and set is Visible to False.

At the moment I tried to change the MarkUp with:

    <li ID="li-item" runat="server">
    // Does not work I get Error: ID no identified....

I’m pretty new to Asp.Net, please give me a sample of code. Thanks for your support.
PS: I hope to do not get down votes because it is a too trivial question 🙂

Answer 1

"li-item" is not a valid identifier. And you need to close the li tag.

Try:

<li ID="li_item" runat="server"></li>

(I have used an underscore instead of -)

Now it should work
