[Resolved] <% %> vs <script runat=server>

[invitro]

I finally decided to migrate from ASP to .NET, so you will see me here quite often.

Anyway, what I'm trying to understand is the difference between the
<% %> tags vs <script runat=server>

It seems like both methods work identical. Furthermore, when I create a function in <script> tags I can then access it in the <% %>

What is the difference? Which one should I be using?

Thank you!

There is no difference, assuming your app's default language (set in the
page or web.config) is set to VB. The second one is shorthand for the
first, it'll assume the default language of your app (or page)....I
recommend using the former though for clarity as the latter was more of
an ASP legacy notation, which I don't know if it's frowned upon using
now....
