Question

I tried searching SO, but I guess it doesn’t like the syntax <%= in the query text so if this is a duplicate, I’ll delete it.

My question is, what are the actual names of the following tags? What would i call them if describing them to someone else

<%
<%=

and if you know them

<%#
<%@

Answer 1

<% scriptlets
<%= expression
<%# expression
<%@ directives  

EDITED
Imagine like this
1. Whatever you write within <% %> are placed in some ‘process’ function
2. Whatever you write inside <%@ %> are placed at class level
3. You can just write expressions inside <%= %> imagine something is written to print Response.Write (we also do not write ‘;’ at the end eg. <%= x+5 %>) and <%# %> is same as <%= %> but the difference is the way they function internally
