What is <%$

[wayneo]

Can someone please explain this? I remember finding this on google
somewhere. It was the only way I could set something from the
resourcefile on a server object in the asp file.

This would be how I would do it when the button wasn't a server control

<input type="button" ID="_objCloseButton" value="<%=
Resources.Public.PUSearchFieldLookup_CloseButtonText %>" />

This is how I did it when it was a server control

<input type="button" ID="_objCloseButton" value="<%$ Resourcesublic,
PUSearchFieldLookup_CloseButtonText %>" />


What exactly is the <%$ doing? Are the tow lines of code the same
except one is running at the server and the other isn't?

Both run on server but the latter is a expression which fetches value from
specified resource and assigns it to value property of the <input> element
(server-side object). The former is basically a <%=%> construct whose value
is evaluated at Page's render stage and appended to the rendered output
(since it's HTML, it's just literal markup to which the returned value is
appended)
