Answer 2

+2 A:

<%%> is short hand for:

<script runat="server">
</script>

Anyting inside the <% and %> is server side code.

The other variants are also shortcuts:

<%@%> is a page directrive
<%=%> is short for Response.Write
<%:%> is short for Response.Write, adding html encoding (introduced with .NET 4.0)
<%#%> is a binding expression

This page is a good reference to all these.
