ASP.NET - Simple code-behind variable with Syntax Error

Question

In my aspx code I have something like this

if(AnId == <%=MyCodebehindObject.MyId%>)
{
    // stuff
}

The code is working: I can get the value from the codebehind variable. However, I'm getting a "Syntax error" warning right at the end of the first line.

I can "fixed it" by enclosing the variable with quotes, but this will make my variable a string, and I'm expecting an int. That will work just fine, the javascript will cast it for comparison, but I think that is just stupid and I was trying to find the write way of doing it.

Any ideas?

ok, thanks, you need to wrap the codebehind in quotes see my answer — Kenneth Garza

No. It's the page codebehind object, where the codebehind variable vives. — jpaires

you need to wrap the javascript code behind in quotes

if(AnId == '<%= MyCodebehindObject.MyID%>'){
    // stuff
}

I noticed that, I was just wondering if there wasn't a way of not doing that, since I see no point of making my variable a string to later on compare it with an int.

perhaps I am not understanding what you're asking. What is giving you the syntax error, The Javascript console or the .net?

The .net is, the visual studio in the "Error List" window.
