Insert string from database into an aspx and have databinding expressions within that text evaluated

Well, as you can see I want something quick-and-dirty!

How can I get a string from a db that has aspx databinding syntax in it and have the databinding expressions evaluated?

So I have text such as this stored in the DB:-

Hello <%=User.Name %> I haven't seen you since <%=User.LastVisit %>

And I want it to be inserted here say:-

...
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <asp:FormView ID="FormView1" DataSourceID="DataSource1" runat="server">
        <ItemTemplate>
           <-- insert stuff here! -->
...

But with the databinding expressions evaluated. I'd rather not build a full parsing, templating and evaluation engine...
