When should you use <% # ...%> and <% = ...%>?

Question

I’ve been doing some work recently with a precompiled .NET3.5 application, so I had to write a lot of inline code and was just wondering about using # and = and niether when executing inline code?

Answer 1

• <% = - equivalent of Response.Write ()
• <% # for Binding Expressions in Data Bound Controls.
• <% $ to access AppSettings, ConnectionStrings and other values ​​contained in application configuration files and resource files
