What is the difference between the

Question

While editing an aspx file I found both these opening tags used for seemingly the same thing. Is there a difference and if yes, what is it?

Accepted Answer

`<%=` is a equivalent to `<% Repsonse.Write()`

You can write any content out here: for example

```
<%=myProperty + " additional Text" %>
```

`<%#` is a binding expression. You can retrieve any public value in the current context (for example in GridViews). But you cannot mix content here.

Take a look at MSDN for more information.
