This is probably super simple and I’m sorry if I seem totally stupid but…

I’m coding my first asp.net web page for a class and I’m used to PHP

in PHP when you create a variable in one block of code you can use it in all the others (as long as it has already be initialized)

Here is an example of what I mean:

<?php $myVariable = "Hello World!" ?>

(later on in the code:)

<?php echo $myVariable; ?>

and In PHP that will work fine

Now the equivilant in asp as I understand it is:

<% String myVariable = "Hello World!"; %>

But when I try to use it in another block of code, the variable myVariable is not accessible

Am I doing something wrong?

    The problem here is the scope of the variable. I would suggest you to go through this article at http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=25467&seqNum=5
