Explaination of syntax in .Net 2.0

[mtone]

I have been seeing the following code I do not know what the characters mean in a web page <%$ Tranlate: any string value %> I know that translate is a function in the code and it is translateing the any string value to another string but could you tell me what the $ means how is it different then <%# and what the : does In some code I also find NewRow!somefield = somevalue what does the ! mean and what does it do Thanks

Dim FSO 

FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

' This line of code is unknown to compiler:

' So use this instead:
Call MsgBox (FSO!DriveExists("D:"))
