Why Semicolon (;) Expected error occurs

Question

I have passed QueryString in hyperlink like below.

<a href="Property_Detail_Search.aspx?P_ID="+<%Request.QueryString["Property_Id"]%>
       itemprop="url"><span itemprop="streetAddress">

   <asp:Label ID="lblPNo" runat="server" ></asp:Label>
</a>

The error occurs because the complier is looking for a semicolon (;) and you have not provided one. If you use the method noted by @FrédéricHamidi you will not need a semicolon. — Ashley Medway, Mar 27 '14 at 08:33

Because you are using <% %> in properties of Server side controls.

It should be as

<a href="Property_Detail_Search.aspx?P_ID="+<%# Request.QueryString["Property_Id"] #%
       itemprop="url"><span itemprop="streetAddress">

<%# expressions can be used as properties in server-side controls.<%= expressions cannot be used in ServerSide control's properties.

Read more it on MSDN. Also you could read another answer i had given on this Post

You try to add property_Id value which comes from addressbar. write = character before Request.QueryString["Property_Id"]

<a href="Property_Detail_Search.aspx?P_ID="+<%=Request.QueryString["Property_Id"]%>
   itemprop="url"><span itemprop="streetAddress">
