How to change or add script tag source from C#?

Here is how we can add script to page header from code behind in c#. The reason why I am doing this is I have these JavaScript files included in master page. And when I try to give path of these files I am getting issues with absolute page when I got to other pages since I have these in master page.

and one more reason why I did is I don’t want to change this every time if deploy to different environment from QA, Stage and Production.

This is how we can do it in your master page.

string js1 = HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + "/Scripts/jquery.cycle2.js";
string js2 =  HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath + "/Scripts/jquery.countdown.js";

Literal js1script = new Literal();
js1script.Text = string.Format(
    @"<script src=""{0}"" type=""text/javascript""></script>", js1);
Page.Header.Controls.Add(js1script);

Literal js2script = new Literal();
js2script.Text = string.Format(
    @"<script src=""{0}"" type=""text/javascript""></script>", js2);
Page.Header.Controls.Add(js2script);

Hope this is useful!!

Here is how we can do this by adding CHAR(13) or CHAR(10) in between the string we write back. This will insert carriage return(code 13) or newline feed(code 10) in the text leading to the text format as you are trying to get.

DECLARE @ReturnMsg NVARCHAR(100)
SET @ReturnMsg = 'Missing state information.' + CHAR(13) + 'This is Address line 1.'
SELECT @ReturnMsg
