script code in ASPX page

[jw56578]

Why does this work in C# but not VB.net

C#
<img src="<% Response.Write("imageroot");%>images/delivery_number.jpg">
VB.Net
<img src="<% Response.Write("imageroot")%>images/delivery_number.jpg">

in c# the value "imageroot" will be created, in VB.net nothing will be
outputted

Works here. Language directive changed ? No compilation error ?

An alternate way to do this would be to use an Asp:Image control. ~ in
ImageUrl allows to refer to the application root...

Could it be the semicolon? I wouldn't reccommend the usage of
Response.Write directly in the image tag. Instead, give the image tag an
id, and write "imageroot" from your codebehind. Or use an image control,
like he said.

the correct syntax is:

C#
<img src="<% ="imageroot"%>images/delivery_number.jpg">
VB.Net
<img src="<% ="imageroot"%>images/delivery_number.jpg">
