Using <%= %> inside server side controls gives The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>)

Question

I am using to use <%= %> inside server controls and gives me error:

The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>).

This is my code:

 <asp:Menu runat="server" >
        <Items>
            <asp:MenuItem Text="Candidates" NavigateUrl="<%=Constants.AccountPageUrl %>" />
        </Items>
 </asp:Menu>

Or try it without enclosing it in double quotes! NavigateUrl=<%= varName %> — Stokedout
