Question

Within my C# code behind page, I have the following:

MembershipUser currentUser = Membership.GetUser(false);

HttpContext.Current.Session["UserGuidAsString"] = currentUser.ProviderUserKey.ToString();

At the bottom of the corresponding ASPX page, I have the following code:

</form>
<script type="text/javascript"> var userGuidAsString = '<%=Session["UserGuidAsString"]%>';
                                alert(userGuidAsString);
</script>
</body>
</html>

It gives the proper expected result which is an alert box with the User’s GUID when I run the page

I wanted to move the JavaScript code to a .js file so that the code is more modularized and organized.
I created the following test.js javascript file with the following contents:

var userGuidAsString = '<%=Session["UserGuidAsString"]%>';
alert(userGuidAsString);

I also modified the ASPX page so that it would include the test.js javascript file:

</form>
    <script src="/Scripts/test.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    </script>
</body>
</html>

It fails because it just gives an alert box with
‘<%=Session[“UserGuidAsString”]%>’
as a message

May I please know how I can make in line server C# code work within JavaScript .js files?

By This your accessing Server Variable

'<%=Session["UserGuidAsString"]%>'

its not functionlity of Javascript.

You can write this code without js block also..
its like ASP code..
so its workg with .aspx page only not in javascript
