meaning of this statement: DataSource="<%# DsBooks1 %>"

[peng]

I found this code in visual studio.net MSDN help.
this is the link:
ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2003FEB.1033/dv_vstechart/html/vbtchTopQue
stionsAboutASPNETDataGridServerControl.htm#vbtchtopquestionsaboutaspnetdatag
ridservercontroldisplayingadrop-downlistineditmode

I don't understand the syntax: "<%#"
Anybody knows, I checked many books, searched online. No luck!!!

Thanks!
I search MSDN using the keyword "<%#". How come I didn't find anything?

What is the correct way to search?
