set server control property in markup using server side variable, even just a constant, is that poss

[Ryan Liu]

Hi,

I'd like to set server control property, like SortExpression to a var like
public const string NAME = "name";

and this const can be used cross applicatoin to avoid typing error, is that
possible?

I know <asp:BoundField DataField="Name" SortExpression
="<%=Constant.NAME%>"> or
<SortExpression ="<%#Constant.NAME%>">
won't work.

Thanks,
Ryan
