Best way to access properties of my code behind class from the markup in ASP.NET

Question

This might be a really dumb question but I\'m learning .NET, so I\'m quite clueless...

Let\'s say I have two files default.aspx and the associated default.a

Answer 1

Doesn't it have to be public to be accessible in that scope?

..

public var myObject = null;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  myObject = new Object();
}
