title: <% %> in ASP.NET (embedded code blocks)
body: <p>I understand what these signify in the markup of the aspx pages ... but I don't not know the full power they can be used for or even the name to denote these special directives. </p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <p>can i put conditional statements like ifs or switches</p>
  
  <p>I have seen and used them to bind data from a data set for example</p>
  
  <p>Any input is greatly appreciated</p>
