how to call a variable in code behind to aspx page

Question

i know i have seen this but cant recall the correct way of doing it... basically i have a string variable called \"string clients\" in my .cs file.. but i wasn\'t to be able

Answer 1

The field must be declared public for proper visibility from the ASPX markup. In any case, you could declare a property:

private string clients;
public string Clients { get { return clients; } }

UPDATE: It can also be declared as protected, as stated in the comments below.

Then, to call it on the ASPX side:

<%=Clients%>

Note that this won't work if you place it on a server tag attribute. For example:

This isn't valid. This is:

<%=Clients%>
