how to output text in asp.net vb

Hi,

I'm learning asp.net VB and am having troble with what should be a simple problem. I just want to output a string but am having a difficult time figuring out how to do so. I have an asp classic page which just assigns a text string to a variable and then writes the value.

<%
imgop = "<html><body><script type=""text/javascript"">window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction('1','/senate/leg.title.jpg');</script></body></html>;"
Response.write imgop
%>

Seems simple but I can't seem to find how to make a variable in asp.net or assign it a value or write the contents. Could someone show me how to do this simple thing? Thanks.

Html; 
<TR style="color: <asp:Literal ID='myStyle' runat='server'/>">
Code 


protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal myStyle;

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	string fontColor = "";
	if (Request.QueryString["condition1"] == "1")
	{
		fontColor="Red";
	}
	else
	{
		fontColor = "Black";
	}

	myStyle.Text = fontColor;

}

in your html just do this

<asp:label runat="server" id="label1" />

Now when in your code you say
label1.text="Whatever you want to say"

The line "Whatever you want to say" will show up wherever the asp:Label control is on the page

It's not quite the same. If I use an asp: label the output is wrapped in a <span> tag. Like this:

<span id="label1"><html><body><script type="text/javascript">window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction('1','admin_images/elliott.jpg');</script></body></html>;</span>

I need the results to look like this:
<html><body><script type="text/javascript">window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction('1','admin_images/elliott.jpg');</script></body></html>;

Is there a way to have this code make the same output but without the <span> tag?

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<% label1.text="<html><body><script type=""text/javascript"">window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction('1','admin_images/elliott.jpg');</script></body></html>;" %>
<asp:label runat="server" id="label1" />

>> Try using the Literal control and in your code behind say: Literal1.text = "your data"

That's what I also said in the first comment !

If you define a public variable in the code-behind, you can use it with Response.write in the HTML

html:

<div><%=YourString%></div>


code:

Partial Class yourpage
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
    
    Public YourString As String = "test"
    
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        YourString = "pageloaded"
    	
    End Sub

End Class
