Formatting appSettings data using Expression Builder

[Darren Carter]

Does anyone know if it's possible to format data stored in an appSetting node
when it's bound to a form control? I would like to format a date stored in
appSettings, and I bind to it as follows:

<asp:Label ID="SomeLabelID" Runat="Server" Text="<%$AppSettings:someDate %>"
/>

Hey,

Are you trying to achieve something like this?

<input type=text
value="<%=System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettin gs.AppSettings["fDate"].ToString()%>">
fDate is the key given in web.config.

Hope this would help u.

That will definitely work, but I was hoping that I could use declarative
syntax like $AppSettings:fDate since it is much easier for our designers to
use that syntax instead of the full declaration.
