Use asp.net label for a css class name

Question

I want to use a label value for a css class name.

I am getting a label value from database through Eval and want to use it for a css class name

Here is what I am doing

<span class="<asp:Label ID="lbl_icon" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("icon")%>'></asp:Label>"></span>

but I'm not getting the result which i want.

There isn't any need to use a Label control there. You could just try the following:

<span class='<%# Eval("icon")%>'></span>

@SaadSuri without being sure 100%, I think that you can't.

@SaadSuri - The Label control being rendered as a span element, you would end up with something like: <span class="<span>value</span>" ...></span>. It may work with a Literal control however, since it renders only its content (although Christos' answer is simpler). On the other hand, you could use a Label as your span element, setting its CssClassName with the Eval("icon") value.
