text for asp:label from session

[tshad]

How do I set up text (or can I) set up a label to automatically pull in text
from a session variable. Something like:

<asp:label text="<%# session("ClientName") %>" runat="server"/>

This doesn't work, but is there a way to have it do this with out having to
set up code in the Page_Load sub to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom:
Create a custom control:

public class ClientName
Inherits Label

public override sub Render(Writer as HtmlTextWriter)
if not session("ClientName") is nothing then
Text = cstr(Session("ClientName"))
else
Text = "Anonymous"
end if
myBase.Render(writer)
end sub
end class


not tested, but something like that ought to work.
