get session value from asp.net to javascript

Question

I am creating a web app using asp.net and angularjs i am passing my session variable from c# to javascript as follows

<script type="text/javascript">
    var pm = "<%= Convert.ToString(Session["mysession"]) %>";
    var log = "<%= Convert.ToString(Session["radio"]) %>";        
</script>

but i am getting error: BC30203: Identifier expected.

on: Line 111: var pm = "<%= Convert.ToString(Session["mysession"]) %>";

what could be the possible reason for this?

Answer 1

More than likely, the output of Session["mysession"] contains a quote and is prematurely ending your expression, creating invalid syntax after the inner quote.

If you know there will be no single-quotes, switch to that (below), otherwise, escape the quote when setting Session["mysession"] on the server side.

var pm = '<%= Convert.ToString(Session["mysession"]) %>';
