Regarding these two approaches:
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server"><%# DateTime.Now %></asp:Label>
and
Label1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();
Which do you use and why?
Both are the same.
Personally, I prefer the programmatic approach (number 2) because code-behind more engineered and easier to maintain. Well, this is a simple case where you write the current time, of course, but, in general, it’s better to leave markup for graphics layout and use code as much as possible. In other complex scenario, you will find easier to refactor the code or analyse it with profilers.
Hope to have been of help. Remember, it’s all IMHO 🙂
