There are a couple of inline tags and here they are quickly explained:
<% … %>
This is the basic asp tag, which is used to execute normal code in the aspx page:
<% if (User.IsInRole(“admin”)) { %>
You can see this
<% } else { %>
You are no admin fool!
<%} %>

<%= … %>
This tag is used to get the value of a variable or display a property of a control (i.e. TextBox1.Text)
The Date is now <%= DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() %>
The value of string1 is <%= string1 %>

*Note: <%= is equivalent to Response.Write()
<%# .. %>
This is one is used for so called binding expressions (Bind and Eval). Like in a GridView template column, when you want to set the text property of a label to the value of the column in the datasource:
It’s used in GridView, Repeater, DetailsView и т.н.
<asp:Repeater ID=”rptMeetings” DataSourceID=”meetings” runat=”server”>
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Eval(“MeetingName”) %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

<%$ … %>
Used for expressions, not code; often seen with DataSources:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID=”party” runat=”server” ConnectionString=”<%$ ConnectionStrings:letsParty %>” SelectCommand=”SELECT * FROM [table]” />

<%@ … %>
This one is used for descriptions or directives, or simply said the things you see on top of each of your aspx pages.
<%@ Page Language=”C#” MasterPageFile=”~/MasterPage.master” AutoEventWireup=”true” CodeFile=”Default.aspx.cs” Inherits=”_Default” Title=”Untitled Page” %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix=”wp” Namespace=”CustomWebParts” %>

<%– … –%>
This is a server side comment.
<asp:Label ID=”lblAwesome” runat=”server” />
<%– sometimes end users make me angry –%>
<asp:LinkButton ID=”lbEdit” Text=”Edit” OnClick=”Edit_Click” runat=”server” />
