I\'ve programmed in both classic ASP and ASP.NET, and I see different tags inside of the markup for server side code.
I\'ve recently come across a good blog on MSDN that goes over the difference between:
<%=
(percentage together with equals sign) and<%#
(percent sign and hash/pound/octothorpe)
(<%#
is evaluated only at databind, and <%=
is evaluated at render), but I also see:
<%$
(percent and dollar sign) and<%@
(percent sign and at symbol).
I believe <%@
loads things like assemblies and perhaps <%$
loads things from config files? I\'m not too sure.
I was just wondering if anyone could clarify all of this for me and possibly explain why it\'s important to create so many different tags that seemingly have a similar purpose?
