Using Custom Expressions w/ GridView Buttons

I have a drop-down list the I want to use to control the visibility of
button fields. Here's an example of one of my button fields,

<asp:ButtonField Visible='<%$ Code:ddlReason.SelectedValue =
Status.Review %>' CommandName="Review" Text="Review" />


The value of ddlReason.SelectedValue within the custom expression is
constant even if I select another value from the dropdown. Why does
this occur?

The code for the custom expression builder is,

<ExpressionPrefix("Code")> _
Public Class CodeExpressionBuilder
Inherits ExpressionBuilder


Public Overrides Function GetCodeExpression(ByVal Entry As
System.Web.UI.BoundPropertyEntry, ByVal ParsedData As Object, ByVal
Context As System.Web.Compilation.ExpressionBuilderContext) As
System.CodeDom.CodeExpression
Return New CodeSnippetExpression(Entry.Expression)
End Function
End Class

Cheers,
