There are 2 issues here

1) You are getting a compile time error. Not a runtime error. That means
your code cannot compile.

The reason it cannot compile, is that script blocks can have either
functions or just script code <script runat="server"> </script> blocks may
contain ONLY functions and class level declaration. <% %> blocks may have
script code that just runs. Line 10 would belong in a <% %> type block -
and because it is not, you are getting a compile time error.

2) This will not work anyway, since ASP and ASP.NET run in 2 different
processes and thus cannot share session state. You will have to pass it via
query string, store it in a db, etc. Basically find another way to pass data
back and forth.
