Basically I have an int variable in my .aspx.cs file (Code-behind), I want to access this variable in the Javascript part of my .aspx file....how the hell do I do this?

from reading around its suggested it should be var a = "<%codebehindvar%>";

this is proving extremely unsuccessful, any bright ideas pretty please?

Change it to :
var a = <%=codebehindvar%>;


<%%> takes a block of code, and you need to explicitly write to the response to render anything into the html. <%= %> takes an expression and prints out the value directly.

I tried various ways with this method in terms of "", '', =, everything and couldnt get it to work. I read of the hidden form method but frankly that sounds horribly messy, must be a simpler way?
 
It's in a protected method but I did think this could be the problem and switched it to public, no luck, the class itself was always public. Here is the compilation error, there are no other errors in the build and everything works fine when i set the variable directly.

Code:

That explains it. Your variable, subsectionscount, is only a local variable inside the Load_Content() method, so it only exists on the stack of the executing thread, while the method is running.

You need to pull it up and make it a class member, and either make it protected or expose it in a protected/public property if you want to render it directly into the html.

Yeah my apologies, my comp at home didn't give many meaningful highlights, as soon as I went in the labs and the variable was greyed out I realised how big a retard I was being.

Thanks for the help
