ASP.NET server side access to page <% tags

Hello,

I have used vb with my ASP.net pages and generally they are setup with a code-behind page (code not on same page as html) (yes we are still using .net v1.1)

However, I received a C# page from another department and need to include it in my project. Problem isn't converting C# to vb.net...that's not hard. Problem is that the one page contains the html and code and they do some things that I'm not familiar with when using a code-behind setup.

For one, they change the page title in the <HEAD> section...how do you do that when all of the tags need to be in the <FORM> tags in a code-behind setup?

Can I have one page like this when all other pages in the project are setup for the code-behind setup?

I know I can use literal controls for most of what they show using the old style <% ... %> tags...but is there a way to continue using the <% ... %> tags and have the variables within be assignable from the server-side code? For example, in the case of:

<% if ( configuredProperly ) { %>
You may logout at <a href="BLAH BLAH">BLAH BLAH</a>.
<% } %>

Is there anyway that the configuredProperly boolean can still be resolvedeven though the code has beenmoved to the code-behind page?

Thanks,

George
