ASP.Net (VB) - accessing string constants in control properties

2 New Member
Hello,

Can anyone please advise me how to retrieve the value of a constant at runtime, given only its name (in a String).

I have experimented with the Microsoft.Visua lBasic.Interact ion.CallByName( ) method, but without success.

Alternatively, can you suggest how to import string constants for use as control property values; something along the followng lines ...

<asp:label text="<%= myConstant %>" />

Of course, this approach doesn't work, as control properties can only be assigned declaratively using expression builders and the appropriate expression builder syntax ...

<asp:label text="<%$ Constants:myCon stant %>" />

So, I am attempting to create a suitable expression builder class that will return constant values, but struggling with the retrieval of the runtime value of the defined constants.

Any ideas please. Thanks.

However, as part of the build before delivering an update, I have to remember to...

Hi all, I just read the thread by the same name posted on Jun 15, 9:45 AM, but I am looking at it from a different point of view. I came across this question in terms of functionality. Are VB and C# (.NET) really functionally equivalent? I had read that although they are very similar, C# does extend functionality further than VB.NET; however, when I searched for pages regarding this, I could not find any.
