How to write inline c# code in master page of asp.net?

Question

I want to write inline c# code in aspx page. From googling I get that I have to add Page Language = "C#". But in master page the Language is already defined. Is there any other way to do that?

I want to add <% DateTime.Now.Year.ToString(); %> at the footer.

One way to do that is to use Literal and update it on page load. I'm looking for any other way.

Answer 1

You have to use the = sign at the start.

   <%= DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() %>

Which is the same as writing

Response.Write(DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString());

in the code behind.

Yes this works on webforms.
