Modify string as like

because the compiler things that the </SCRIPT> in strAll is the closing tag for the <script runat="server">
=========
<script runat="server">
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string strValue = "Test value";
string strAll = "<SCRIPT lanquage='JScript'>window.alert('" + strValue + "');</SCRIPT>";

Writing in C#
<%#
("" + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Expr1")=="")? "<a href='T6003c.aspx?Expr5=Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Expr5")).Trim()'>Add</a>"
: "<a href='T6003c.aspx?'>Edit</a>"

By design?! said:

That sounds like a serious flaw in IIS.  In any normal language environment the only plaintext characters in a delimited (i.e. quoted) string that need special treatment are the delimiters themselves (e.g.: the " character must be preceded by a \).

The fact that a magic sequence of characters within a quoted string - albeit one with significance in the context of HTML/SGML - but no significance in the current language context (C#) would be treated that way is atrocious.  IIS has no business looking inside a C# quoted string for anything.  Doing so breaks the C# implementation.
