    I made the following code, and I stand by it (kind of):

    var numTweets = parseInt("<%= NumTweets.ToString() %>", 10);

    Can you figure out why I would do such a thing? :)

        :-D While most tweeters are numskulls, that is not the reason.

            What's the type of NumTweets? Perhaps it is not an int type and the conversion of it's type to var is different from the conversion of int to var. :)

              Because you have written this in a JavaScript function in ASP.NET, and NumTweets could be any base number, but you want it translating back to base 10. Or, you're a masochist.

                I've made worse... in cases i were asleep:

                @{
                var style = "style=\"color=@color;\"";
                }

                I'm brazilian and english (well, human languages in general) aren't my best skill, so, sorry by my english. (if you want we can speak in C# or VB.Net =p)

                    It's an int. This is an ASP.Net page, so the code inside the string is VB.Net and the outside code is JavaScript.

                      All true (and that's sado-masochist to you!), but not the reason.

                        just realized that this way you still get code formatting to your javascript, while if you'd used:

                        var numTweets = <%= NumTweets.ToString() %>;

                        the formatting from visual studio and the intellisense would've blown up
