Visual Studio confused by server code inside javascript

Question

I ran into an annoying problem: the following code gives a warning in Visual Studio.

Answer 1

The approach you're taking is not a particularly sturdy one. Obviously it wouldn't work if you wanted to move your Javascript code to a separate file in order to improve your page load times....

You're better off using hidden form fields to move data from the server to client script. Alternatively, you can build the variable setter JS code programmatically by doing a bunch of string concatenation, then using the ClientScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock() method to inject it into the output.
