Using a data binding expression in a css style

Question

This may not be possible but thought i would ask. Creating a Sharepoint webpart. In the ascx file i have a style tag. Is there any way that i could do the following:

    <style type="text/css">
    outerDiv
    {        
       border: 1px solid Black;
       height:<%# webPartHeight %>;
       width:300px;
    }
</style>

where the value for height is set via a data binding expression (code behind property). I tried it and when i inspected the style the height had no value set. Any help appreciated either way :)

Just call DataBind() in, say, Page_Load and it will bind your properties to the page and you can use the exact syntax you have there.

protected string webPartHeight { get; set; }
protected void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    webPartHeight = "400px";
    DataBind();
}
