title: ASP.Net @ Symbol
body: <p>I am trying to follow some tutorials for ASP.Net and for the life of me, I just can't figure out what the <code>@</code> Symbol does when it is before an variable.</p>
  
  <p>I thought it was just a shortcut to either session variables or request.form, but I have tried it in a few places without any luck.</p>
  
  <p>When I put it in somewhere at random, I get the error : <code>Expression Expected</code>, however, when I look at the examples I am working from, they do not look like expressions so I am very confused!</p>
  
  <p>Please help!?</p>
