[SQL Server Procedure] Cannot user "Select TOP @Count ..."

Question

I am creating a procedure something like below. it works fine when there is no "TOP @Count", or it works fine when i put a concrete vaule "TOP 100" .

So why i cannot pass the value there??? how can i walk around it???

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE MyProcedure    
    @Count int = 100
AS
BEGIN

  SELECT TOP @Count 
         t1.id AS ID, 
         t1.name AS Name, 
         t2.type AS TYPE    
    FROM sampleTable1 as t1 with (noloack), 
         sampleTable2 as t2 with (noloack)          
   WHERE (t1.t2Id = t2.Id)     
ORDER BY t1.name asc

END
GO

Assuming 2005+, you need to use brackets:

  SELECT TOP (@Count) 
         t1.id AS ID, 
         t1.name AS Name, 
         t2.type AS TYPE
    FROM sampleTable1 as t1 with (noloack)
    JOIN sampleTable2 as t2 with (noloack) ON t2.id = t1.t2.id
ORDER BY t1.name

My understanding is the bracket support was added in v2005 in order to not require dynamic SQL.
