Putting a server side control inside an html element attribute

[John Lau]

Hello,

In Asp, you can render a server side variable inside the quotes in an html
element attribute. For example:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<%=SomeVariableName%>" type="text/css">

I'm trying to do something similar in Asp.Net:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<SomePlaceholderControl runat=server>"
type="text/css">

However, Asp.Net sees the characters inside the quotes as literal text. Is
there a way to put a server side control inside the quotes?

Thanks,
John

Why would you want to do this?

We're migrating our Asp websites to Asp.net. Most of our designers and
developers have never seen Asp.net, so phase one is just a port. Phase two
will be a rewrite.

ASP.NET still supports inline code.

But as for your original questions, probably not. I have never seen this
done, simply because server-side controls are tags and attributes are only
constant values.

Yes, I noticed it still supports inline code.

Thanks, John
