This expression is termed a 'Data Binding Expression'. So, when you call the DataBind method on a control or the page itself, the asp.net page parser will traverse through the page parse the contents where it finds this expression.
Good stuff. Now while you're at it go and answer our other .net questions ;)
Ah. Makes sense!

I was about to ask why... but I really couldn't be bothered.
Its easier for me to just do it :) :bigyello:
