Accessing code-behind variables from page code

I have the following two pages:

  1. Default.aspx
  2. Default.aspx.cs

How do I access variables in the code-behind file (Default.aspx.cs) from my embedded code in (Default.aspx) with the <% %> syntax?

Any public or protected (but not private, the "page" itself inherits from the code-behind Page class) class-level member can be accessed in this way. For example, if your code-behind class has a property:

protected string SomeValue { get; set; }

Then in your aspx code you can refer to it:

<% =SomeValue %>

If you don't specify the access modifier for the variable the default is private and hence you cannot access it inside your page. It works for public, protected and friend. I prefer to use protected variables than public ones.

Simply reference them as if they are part of the current class.

<%= this.Foo %>
