String Declare Error

I have Simple Problem with Declaring Variables. This is my Program.

Code:

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">
  Dim stm as String
  stm="prasad"

</script>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
    <form runat="server">
   </form>
</body>
</html>

I got the Following Error

Code:

Compiler Error Message: BC30188: Declaration expected.
Source Error:
Line 2:  <script runat="server">
Line 3:  Dim stm as String
Line 4:  stm="prasad"

Have you tried placing the code in a routine?

Private Sub setString()

Dim stm as String
stm="prasad"

End sub

It is working fine. But
why should Declare the Variable inside the Sub procedure?

any reason..? here the in between of <Server> </server> is Code block only so why not we assign the value over there.?

Hi Buddu,

Its simple. Just try to place your code, i mean variable assignment should be inside subroutine.You can't assign a variable outside subroutine.

Dim stm as String
stm="prasad"

wont work outside a procedure.

Dim stm as String = "prasad"

will work
