Could any one please help me to resolve his issue

Answer 1

Use this code, i hope will be work.

<%
HttpContext.Current.Item["variable"] = 0;
%>

<ugc:ItemStats  ItemURI="@PhysicalUri" runat="server">
<ugc:Choose runat="server">
  <ugc:When test="ugcItemStats.numberOfComments equals  variable " runat="server">
       html1
  </ugc:When>
  <ugc:Otherwise runat="server"> 
       html2
  </ugc:Otherwise> 
</ugc:Choose>
</ugc:ItemStats> 

Answer 2

The When statement accesses the ugcItemStates object from the HttpContext.Current.Items collection.

I suspect that by nesting the statement in the ItemStats control causes this object not to be available yet.
