Is something like this possible?
<asp:FormView ID="myFormView" runat="server">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <p><%# XPath("Root/Path/Item[@id=<%=this.m_myId%>]/HelloWorld")%></p>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:FormView>
m_myId is a member variable on the page. I can't seem to get it to work without a parsing error.
