There’s no ‘context switch’.
The way the ASP.NET works is the page is precompiled on the server side to executable code. Then, when a request comes, that code is executed and all server tags are replaced with the actual content they would yield in the response. After that the response is sent to the user.
Thus, anything you put as a
<% %>tag is executed on the server, before the HTML is served to the browser.
