<%# ... %> is data-binding syntax, which basically means that the expression will not be evaluated until DataBind() is called. Since you do not call DataBind(), nothing gets printed.

The syntax for evaluating the expression immediately would be:

<%= DateTime.Now.ToString() %>

You can also use the equals sign for a shorter notation:

<% = DateTime.Now.ToString() %>

You could use:

<% Response.write(DateTime.Now.ToString()) %>

<%= is equivalent to Response.Write so you can use <%= too.

 <%= DateTime.Now.ToString() %>
