Use server tag in an anchor tag

I would like to use a property ID value in the anchor tag as below:

<a id="aExample" href="/test/example.aspx?id=<%# Id %>" runat="server">Example</a>

But when the page is rendered instead of getting the href as "/test/example.aspx?id=5" i am getting "/test/example.aspx?id=<%# Id %>" as plain text assigned as href of the anchor.

Id = is a property defined in code behind.

Can anybody help me whats wrong with this? N.B: I need runat="server"` to be present.

My tag is not inside any Grid view control but within a user control. <%=

Please try this, 

<a id="aExample" href='<%# string.Format("/test/example.aspx?id={0}", Id) %>'  runat="server">Example</a>

You can also set the href of anchor tag in CodeBehind.

CodeBehind:

int Id = 4;
aExample.HRef = "/test/example.aspx?id=" + Id;

Try this 

<a id="aExample" href='<%= CompleteURL %>' runat="server">Example</a>

If you can build and bind the complete URL in your property (code behind). I think this can be optimal solution. This way you can also change your URL dynamically.

Try this,

if you want get variable value from your .cs so you can use. Declare variable in your page. .cs page

 public int Id = 0;

aspx page

<a id="aExample" href="/test/example.aspx?id=<%= Id %>" runat="server">Example</a>

and your a tag is inside in gridview control so you can use like...

<a id="aExample" href="/test/example.aspx?id=<%#Eval("Id")%>" runat="server">Example</a>

You can do this in code behind (if its not inside Gridview or some other control like that)

aExample.Href = "/test/example.aspx?id="+ YourEntity.Id;

Maybe you can try this

<asp:HyperLink ID="aExample" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# String.Format("/test/example.aspx?id={0}", Eval("Id")) %>'>Example</asp:HyperLink>
