Hello;

I'm currently working to convert a classic ASP site to ASP.NET. I am getting the error 'Cannot convert type String to System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.GenericHTMLControls' (I'm associating frontend variable to backend). Unfortunately, Google has not been much help on this. Anyone have any pointers on this? An example of this is:

Frontend:

<div id="Message1" runat="server" /></div>

Backend:

Message1 = //verbiage here to display as message if condition is right.

Use InnerHtml or InnerText property.

Message1.InnerHtml = "text_here";
