ASP page don't recognize variables

I have defined a variable in page Test.aspx.cs, public string TestText = "Select";

I want to use it in the page Test.aspx, <asp:LinkButton ID="lbAccessories" Text="<%=TestText %>" runat="server" CommandName="Select">

But the aspx page doesn't recognize the variable, in firefox it shows <%=TestText %>, and in IE7 it shows nothing.

Does anyone know where is wrong and how to show the variable?

Thanks

You cannot use <%= .. %> expressions to set proeprties of server-side controls.
(this has nothing to do with the field)

Instead, you can set the property directly in the code-behind:

 lbAccessories.Text = "Hi!";

EDIT: You can use databinding syntax: (with a #)

<asp:LinkButton ID="lbAccessories" Text="<%#TestText %>" runat="server" CommandName="Select">
