I was asked a question in an interview, weather we can access a publically declared variable which is been declared in aspx.cs or ascx.cs page in aspx or ascx page respectively.
Yes you can, In ASPX page you can do:
<%=yourVariable%>
If you have defined in your code behind file .cs
file as:
public string yourVariable;
If you want to use it in a span in aspx page then:
<span> <%= yourVariable %> </span>
