Method 1

the <%# .. %> is applied only during data binding. One solution is to manually call DataBind()

Try

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        ImgProduct.DataBind();
}

Method 2

You have to call Page.DataBind() or Control.DataBind(). Otherwise the <%# %> blocks will not be evaluated.

Method 3

in the aspx page

<asp:Image ID="ImgProduct" runat="server" ondatabinding="ImgProduct_DataBinding" />

in the cs file use this

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ImgProduct.DataBind();

}
protected void ImgProduct_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ImgProduct.ImageUrl = "Image pathe + name";
}

Method 4

Why do all the databinding stuff just try the below.

protected void Page_Load(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
    if(!IsPostBack)
    {
        ImgProduct.ImageUrl = FormatImageUrl("10");
    }
}

protected string FormatImageUrl(string s)
{
    return "image"+s;
}

I don’t understand, what difference does it make for you to databind it or write the code on code behind. Saving a few key strokes??
It would be rather very easy to also watch the Object on Codebehind rather than the Data Binding expression model
