If a Web server control property's data type is a primitive type, such as a String, Boolean, or numeric type, you can set the property value by simply assigning it to the property. Similarly, if the property's values are defined in an enumeration class, you can simply assign the enumeration to the property.

To set a property value based on simple values

Assign the value as a literal or variable, as in the following example:
Visual BasicВ Copy Code
Label1.Text = "Hello" Datagrid1.PageSize = 5
C#В Copy Code
Label1.Text = "Hello"; DataGrid1.PageSize = 5;

Visual BasicВ	Copy Code
Label1.Text = "Hello" Datagrid1.PageSize = 5

C#В	Copy Code
Label1.Text = "Hello"; DataGrid1.PageSize = 5;

To set a property value based on an enumeration

Assign the value using one of the enumeration values. ASP.NET can resolve the enumeration based on the property's type. The following code example illustrates setting a property using an enumeration:

Visual BasicВ	Copy Code
'Uses TextBoxMode enumeration TextBox1.TextMode = TextBoxMode.SingleLine 'Uses ImageAlign enumeration Image1.ImageAlign = ImageAlign.Middle

C#В	Copy Code
// Uses TextBoxMode enumeration TextBox1.TextMode = TextBoxMode.SingleLine; // Uses ImageAlign enumeration Image1.ImageAlign = ImageAlign.Middle;
