Hello everyone,

i have a problem while setting the button text recently

for my case, i would like to set the text of the button on the aspx
page, i have write the code like below

<asp:button id="btn_submit" text='<%# GetText("abc.xml","btn_text")
%>' >

where the GetText is a function which will retrieve a string in xml
The page can run but the text cannot be display on the button. i am
sure that the function is work as i have tried it on the code-behind
like: btn_submit.text = GetText("abc.xml","btn_text") , it work fine
with no problem but it dont work while i try it in the aspx page.

Did anyone try it before and please give me some hints. Thanks everyone

<%# ... is a databinding expression. You need to call DataBind method to 
execute it.

Perhaps you should try another approach.
For example, in your Page_Load event you could use code like this:
btn_submit.Text = GetText("abc.xml","btn_text")

Just call the DataBind() method for the page and <%# .. %> will work
