If statement in aspx page

Question

I want to write a basic if statement on my site to display either item 1 or item 2 depending on if a variable is set to true.

I'm not too familiar with .NET and need a little help with the basic structure of how to get an if statement to work on the aspx page

Answer 1

if the purpose is to show or hide a part of the page then you can do the following things

1) wrap it in markup with

<% if(somecondition) { %>
   some html
<% } %>

2) Wrap the parts in a Panel control and in codebehind use the if statement to set the Visible property of the Panel.
