Expressions as properties for unbound controls

Is there a way to set a property to an expression of an unbound control
without doing it in code-behind. For example, if I had a label control, and
wanted to set the Text= property to a Session var - something like:

<asp:Label ID="lblTest" runat="server" Text="<%= Session("name")
%>"></asp:Label>

This of course doesn't work. I know it can be done easily in code-behind,
but is there a way to do it in the markup?

Thanks.

<%= %expressions are not allowed in serverside controls (runat=server). if
the control is the hicd of a control that supports binding (formedit,
repeater ...) then you can us a binding expression (<%=%>).

Hi All, I have a mainform with a subform in which I show some task summary data. On the mainform I have a number of unbound controls that reflect values relevant to each task in the subform. The unbound controls are populated in the subform's OnCurrent even from a number of different tables related to the records in tbl_tasks, which is the recordset displayed in the subform.

Hi, Im wondering if anyone can help me with a problem. I have a form with more than 50 unbound fields. Some of the fields will be blank from time to time. This seems to be where im having trouble. I have tried keeping some of the fields bound and when I use the save button it has been saving as 2 different records. This is unacceptable. This is what I have, can anyone help me out with this?

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
