Adding dynamic year to AbleCommerce (ASP) footer

Question

I am not an ASP coder at all. Just trying to helop a friend by adding dynamic copyright date to existing AbleCommerce footer. My current code causes no errors but also has no output:

StoreFooter.ascx

<asp:Literal runat="server" ID="thisYear"></asp:Literal>

StoreFooter.ascx.cs

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            AdminLink.Visible = AbleContext.Current.User.IsAdmin;
            MobileLinkPanel.Visible = Request.Browser.IsMobileDevice;
            MobileStoreLink.NavigateUrl = NavigationHelper.GetMobileStoreUrl("~/Default.aspx?FSIntent=false");
            int thisYearInt = LocaleHelper.LocalNow.Year;
            thisYear.Text = thisYearInt.ToString();
        }

Also tried setting date as DateTime.Now.Year. Can anyone see what I am missing? I also get no output if I assign a string to thisYear.Text.

Instead of Literal use Label control. Try

<asp:Label runat="server" ID="thisYear"></asp:Label>
