why asp.net binding expression shows nothing

I'm just testing a simple databind expression with:

<div>
Now: <%# DateTime.Now.ToString()%>
</div>

According to MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bda9bbfx(VS.71).aspx

literal text <%# data-binding expression %>

should work.

When I compile, it's OK but I got a blank instead of Now DateTime.

What's wrong ?

You must call a DataBind method. In this case, add a call to the Page.DataBind in the page's load event. The DataBind method is not called automatically. You must call it for the page or for specific controls.
