Question

In a c# aspx project.
I can reach a static method on client side with importing my namespace at the beginning part of the page, as follows.

<%@ Import Namespace="utl=portal.library.Utilities" %>

And than in can use that on client side of the same asxp page like.

<script type="text/javascript">
var categoryPage;
categoryPage = '<%= utl.getcategoryName().ToString() %>';
</script>

My question is, can i use that ‘<%= utl.getcategoryName().ToString() %>’ in an external javascript file ?

Is it possible something like that ?

<%@ Import Namespace="utl=portal.library.Utilities" %>
<script src="/scripts/trial.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

and in the trial.js file

var categoryPage;
categoryPage = '<%= utl.getcategoryName().ToString() %>';

thanks in advance..

I don’t think so, because the external .JS file wouldn’t be processed by ASP.NET and therefore wouldn’t have access to those kinds of variables.
