Out of context String variable for use in HTML output

I am trying to understand why a variable myUrlis out of context in the example below. What is the best way to deal with this situation? Are there any alternatives? The code is C # on an ASP.NET page.

<% string myUrl = "http://www.website.com"; %>
<ul class="footerLinks">
    <li><a href="<%= myUrl %>/index.html">Home</a></li>
</ul>

This is because it is <%=displayed before the script component. If you installed myUrlin the code behind ( Page_Loador the Initevent), it should enter the page as you expect. Obviously, also remove the variable declaration in the markup.

First of all, your string variable should be publicly available at the class level.

public String myUrl

DataBind() method Page_PreRenderComplete:

protected void Page_PreRenderComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DataBind();
}

<%= expressions .
