ASP.NET quote character encoding causes problems when setting a control's property

Question

I have an ASP.NET web application and at a certain point I do this:

mycontrol.stringparameterforjscript = \"document.getElementById(\'\" + myotherparam + \"\').v         


        

Answer 1

I think you might need the @ on both string literals in your assignment, and remove the slashes:

mycontrol.stringparameterforjscript = @"document.getElementById('" + myotherparam + @"').value = 'Hello'";

EDIT

How I did it:

On the .aspx:

In the code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string myotherparam = "paramval";
    tbTest.Attributes.Add("onfocus", @"document.getElementById('" + myotherparam + @"').value = 'Hello'");
}

Resultant output:
