How to show a variable value in ASP.NET Web Forms?

Question

I try to show variable value like this:

<% userTotalCount.ToString(); %>

But I understand that at the start the value is null, that's why I can't see anything on the page. Value of userTotalCount Variable sets later in Page_Load() event. How to show this value after it being set.

Answer 1

The error is that you do not render the value. To render it on page use (note the first <%= )

<%= userTotalCount.ToString(); %>

this is a short cut for

<% Response.Write(userTotalCount); %>

The value is set on PageLoad, then come back to render there, so you have it, but you do not render it.
