Question

Is it possible to take the value from a string variable from a code-behind file and display it in this markup?

<h1>People Authorized to Release Children for <TheVariableGoesHere>  </h1>

The variable we would like to include is called strForename.

Protected Sub GridViewParentsSummary_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles GridViewParentsSummary.SelectedIndexChanged

    IntParentsID = GridViewParentsSummary.DataKeys(GridViewParentsSummary.SelectedIndex).Value
    strForename = GridViewParentsSummary.DataKeys(GridViewParentsSummary.SelectedIndex).Values("Forename")

    blnAddModeIsSelected = False

    Response.Redirect("AuthorizationForChildReleaseDetails.aspx")

End Sub

Answer 1

The way this would be accomplished is through a code behind method being called.

Something like this for C#

<h1>People Authorized to Release Children for <% =this.GetForename() %> </h1>

or this for VB.NET

<h1>People Authorized to Release Children for <% =Me.GetForename() %> </h1>

and in code behind C#

protected string GetForename() 
{
    return GridViewParentsSummary.DataKeys(GridViewParentsSummary.SelectedIndex).Values("Forename");
}

or in VB.NET

Protected Function GetForename() As String
    Return GridViewParentsSummary.DataKeys(GridViewParentsSummary.SelectedIndex).Values("Forename")
End Function
