HTML in Code Behind

yes. we need to come out of the sprinkling of html code in code behind like we used to do it in classic asp.
i would suggest to use a 'literal' or 'label' control to display html & this control text can be altered from code behind

I have never used a literal The problem with using a lable is that the string is built by clicking on 9 options.
So I won't know where the label (literal) will appear.

Any explanation us using a literal for this purpose would be helpful.

So now I am doing
Public wordOr As Label = New Label

With wordOr
                    .Text = "OR"
                    .ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
                End With
                Session("ReportDate") = vbCrLf + wordOr.Text + vbCrLf + "Date"

The label with the word OR shows up where I want it, but the color is not set to red.

the following works for me..

Partial Class test
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Label1 As New System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label


Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

With label1
                .Text = "Hello label"
                .ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
                End With
		
form1.controls.add(label1)


End Sub

end class

Select allOpen in new window

I ended up using a literal control.
Since I will be changing the text color of only some words in the string and the position of those words could change.

Partial code:
Literal1.Text = " "
