I am trying to set the Text property of a drop down list option like this:

 <asp:ListItem Value="AB" Text='<%= Resources.Get("USA") %>'></asp:ListItem>

But it isn't working, instead the Text value is literally <%= Resources.Get("USA") %> and not the string "USA".

i.e. it is not being interpreted as code.

What is the problem?
