Inline code prevents Design view

[Ken McCrory]

I have a page with some inline server-side code. An example line is:

<input type="hidden" name="fmFirstNa me" value="<%=Sessi on("FirstName") %> ">

The code and logic works and does what it is supposed to do BUT if I try to
change from HTML view to Design view I get this error message:

Could not open in Design view. Quote values differently inside a
'<%..."value".. .%>' block.

How should I quote the value block so I can use Design view and still have
it work? Single quotes didn't work. Right now when I want to see design view
I comment out the lines with inline code.

dont use the inline. Add a runat=server or use a server based control and
populate it from the codebehind.

in design view Session is null, so an error is thrown when it is accessed.
add a property accessor in the codebehind

string FirstName {
get {
if (Session != null)
return Session["FirstName"];
return "";
}
}

then in the aspx:

<input type="hidden" name="fmFirstNa me" value="<%=First Name%> ">

Change to using single quotes:

<input type="hidden" name="fmFirstNa me" value='<%=Sessi on("FirstName") %>'>

BINGO! We have a winner! The other two methods mentioned in other posts may
work and may even be the preferred way but this method was the quickest and
still works. Thanks Brock!
