Seems like a simple thing to push a variable value into a textbox to me.</p> <p>It's also confusing to me why</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:Label runat="server" ID="label1"&gt;&lt;%=TextFromString%&gt;&lt;/asp:Label&gt; </code></pre> <p>and</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:TextBox ID="TextBox3" runat="server"&gt;Hello&lt;/asp:TextBox&gt; </code></pre> <p>works but </p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:TextBox ID="TextBox4" runat="server"&gt;&lt;%=TextFromString%&gt;&lt;/asp:TextBox&gt; </code></pre> <p>causes a compilation error.</p>
