The code in the block can execute programming statements and call functions in the current page class during the page-rendering phase.
<%@ Page Language="VB" %> <html> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <% For i As Integer = 16 To 24 Step 2%> <div style="font-size: <% Response.Write(i)%>"> Hello World<br /> </div> <% Next%> </form> </body> </html>
<%= … %> displaying expression
equivalent of the embedded code block that contains only the Response.Write(…) statement. This is the simplest way to display information such as a single string, an int variable, or a constant.
displaying expression cannot be used in the attributes of server controls. This is because the .NET Framework directly compiles the whole expression instead of the displaying content as the value to the attribute.
<%@ Page Language="VB" %> <html> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <%=DateTime.Now.ToString() %> </form> </body> </html>
