ASP.NET inline coding: variable name is not replaced with value

Question

I have an ASP.NET page .In the page load i set the value of a public variable.and in the inline coding part,I Am loading a CSS which is the folder with the name which is available in the public variable.My HTML markup is as follows

<%@ Page Language="C#"  EnableEventValidation="false" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MyPage.aspx.cs"  Theme="GridView" Inherits="GUI.MyPage" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>MyPage</title>
<link href="../Vendors/<%=vendorName%>/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

</head>
 <body>
<%=vendorName %> <!-- here value is printed correctly -->
 ...
 </body>

and in my code behind

 public partial class MyPage: MyCommonClass
 {
    public string vendorName = "";
     protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
        vendorName = "ACLL";
     }

 }

But when i run the page, the <%=VEndorId%> is not replaced with the value in it .But in the Body,It is printing properly.But in the head it is not coming.I checked the ViewSource and find the source HTML as follows

<link href="../Vendors/&lt;%=vendorName%>/Lib/css/tradein.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

The two options are:

<link href="<%= string.Format("../Vendors/{0}/css/style.css", vendorName) %>" type="text/css" rel="Stylesheet" /> // as Greco stated

and

<style>
  @import url("../Vendors/<%=vendorName%>/css/style.css");
</style>

Add the runat="server" tag to the link element.
