Why not? If you had a control that produced an attribute, you could
program against it. I can see that it would be the same as using <%=%>,
except that the code would be written in a more ASP.NET way, using
controls and setting them in the code block, rather than inserting code
in the HTML section, which is more of a Classic ASP approach.
