Object Tag Syntax: <object runat="server" />
Object tags enable page developers to declare and create instances of variables using a declarative, tag-based syntax. The following example demonstrates how the object tag can be used to create an instance of an ArrayList class.
<object />
The object will be created automatically at run time and can then be accessed through the ID "items".
<html>
<script language="C#" runat=server>
void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
ArrayItems.Add("One");
ArrayItems.Add("Two");
ArrayItems.Add("Three");
MyList.DataSource = ArrayItems;
MyList.DataBind();
}
</script>
<body>
<object >/>
<asp:datalist >>
<ItemTemplate>
Here is a value: <%# Container.DataItem %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:datalist>
</body>
</html>
