Using variable as <ASP:Textbox text

[Alpha7]

Hello,
I'm trying to add a date I've called from a database that I've passed to a session variable to the default value in a textbox.

<ASP:Textbox Enabled=&quot;true&quot; id=&quot;text100&quot; maxlength=&quot;25&quot; backcolor=&quot;#8080b0&quot; Text=<%=Session[&quot;sent_date&quot;]%> Forecolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; class=&quot;navSmall&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot; />

The error I get is:
Parser Error Message: Server tags cannot contain <% ... %> constructs.

Does anyone know how I can place a variable into this value?

Thanks,
A7

you could do with the below code
<script language=&quot;VB&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot;>
Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
text100.text = Session(&quot;sent_date&quot
End Sub
</script>

Just a note
In order to make full use of .Net enhancements try at all costs to aviod spagetti code (vb code intermingled in html) such as cbokowski suggested. Instead use the code behind model that all .net languages utilize. The new code will be very similiar to cbo's code, but in a different file. If you need more help understanding the code behind model feel free to post. That'l do donkey, that'l do
