Replace text in asp.net page vb

[TheVillageCodingIdiot]

I have a ASP.net page that is a template letter and have some place
holders for variables i want to put in. For instance

<div runat="server" id="Page1">
Dear [EmployeeName],
'Letter text below
</div>

Now "[EmployeeName]" is scattered throughout the page wherever we need
to put there name. Is there a way to go through and replace all
"[EmployeeName]" with like "John Doe" when they are not in any
controlls other then the DIV?

Really, what you should be doing is using ASP .NET label controls for this.
The way you are doing this now, you are missing the whole point/power of
server-side controls. The use of DIV's is really irrelevant. The following
code would allow you to dynamically populate lblTo via server-side logic
with any value you require.



<form runat="server" id="Form1">

Dear <asp:Label id="lblTo" runat="server">,

'Letter text below

</form>



Wherever else you need the name, just make more labels and populate them in
your server-side code.
