Question

I’d like to initialise the label of the button from function from code behind:

<asp:Button ID="BtnAjoutClient" runat="server" Text='<%= GetText()%>' />

and in the code behing a simple function like:

protected String GetText() {
  return "test";
}

But the caption of the button shows me the raw code (and the function is never called). I tryied also <%# GetText() %>. Do you know why ?

Regards

You can’t use <%=%> server side code block like that within a server side control.

Use the code behind file:

BtnAjoutClient.Text = GetText();
