It seems I am missing something. But ever since .Net 4.0 came out I have been seeing reference to <%: %> syntax for ASP.NET. It seems like it is similar to <%= %> but clearly there is a reason for the new syntax. I tried google but searching <%: %> doesn’t seem to return anything. What does the <%: %> syntax do? Was it introduced in .Net 4.0 or 3.5? Can someone enlighten me?
Edited: Please provide reference or examples
i believe the <%: %> is auto HtmlEncoding
this post from Scott Gu will help to explain – it was introduced in .net 4 and MVC2
