Any way to set attributes for server controls by referencing properties/methods/variables?

[paul.hester]

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a declarative way to set server control attributes
using the attribute="<%= SomeValue %>" syntax.

This works fine for basic HTML controls, but server controls will
literally display the contained text, but won't execute the containing
code.

It works fine if I use the attribute="<%# SomeValue %>" syntax and
calling DataBind() in the code behind, but this feels really ugly.

Other than just setting the attribute in the code behind, is there a
better way to do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

I would be interested to see what other have to say on this myself.

At the moment the best way I've found to do this is from the Code
Behind page.
