How do I dynamically load min/max properties of the asp:RangeValidator?

Hi:

Relatively newby to the world of ASP .Net.

I'm having issues trying to set the min/max values of the RangeValidator.
I'm trying to set these values dynamically as my page/control loads.
I'd like to set these values directly within the page using embedded JavaScript to
references variables from my code behind.



My ASP .Net code looks like this:
=======================

<asp:RangeValidator ID="rngNumberOfTravelers" runat="server"  
ControlToValidate="tNumberofTravelers"
ErrorMessage="<%=RangeTravelersErrorMessage%>"
CssClass="error"
Display="Dynamic"
EnableClientScript="true"  
MinimumValue="<%=MinNumber%>"
MaximumValue="<%=MaxNumber%>"  
Type="Integer"/>


My property definition is C# looks like this:
==============================

    private int _minNumber;
    public int MinNumber
    {
        get {
                return _minNumbers;
            }
    }
    private int _maxNumber;
    public int MaxNumber
    {
        get {
                return _maxNumbers;
            }
    }


I get the following exception during the page load:
===================================

Server Error in '/Explorica.TravelerAdmin' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The value '<%=MaxNumberofTravelers%>' of the MaximumValue property of 'rngNumberOfTravelers' cannot be converted to type 'Integer'.

   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +4185



What am I doing wrong?
Can this not be set dynamically on the ASPX page?

I've also tried setting this in my code behind during Page_Load() <Binding the controls>.
But the result was that my RangeValidator did not fire correctly.


Any and all help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Check
<asp:RangeValidator ID="rngNumberOfTravelers" runat="server"  
ControlToValidate="tNumberofTravelers"
ErrorMessage="Testing"
CssClass="error"
Display="Dynamic"
EnableClientScript="true"  
MinimumValue="<%#MinNumber%>"
MaximumValue="<%#MaxNumber%>"  
/>

--------------------------------------------
private int _minNumber = 20;
    public int MinNumber
    {
        get
        {
            return _minNumber;
        }
    }
    private int _maxNumber = 40;
    public int MaxNumber
    {
        get
        {
            return _maxNumber;
        }
    }

I saw the first link yesterday before I decided to go ahead and post a request. The error that I'm getting is: CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'string on this line:
            rangePaper.MinimumValue = 0.01;
