What are they called in ASP.NET <%:%>?

Question

What are they called in ASP.NET?

• <%# ... %>
• <%= ... %>
• <%: ... %>

And what are the different options? How are they used?

Answer 1

This is a block of code. The c # version is used for data binding. They basically let you embed C # code in an aspx page.

MSDN has a good article on code blocks here and a good article on data binding expressions.

Answer 2

A generic term for tags of type <% %> is "nuggets", with the exception of <%@ %> , which is called a directive.

How is each nugget used to be found in .NET "code blocking blocks"? .
