Adding MetaTag from a Transformation

Hello.
I'm stuck here. I would like to add specific metatag in my header regarding a news (for facebook like button). I want to add the famous "

<meta property="og:tag name" content="tag value"/>

in the header from the transformation I use in my repeater.
I tried to make a function with

Page.Header.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<meta name=\"og:description\" content=\"aaaatest\" />"));

but it doesn't work (tell me that I can't use page in a static function...).
If you could help me, would be great!
Thanks.

Thanks, Miro

Will I be able to use the <%# GetDocumentUrl() %> or the <%# Eval("NewsTitle") %> kind of method in that protected overrided method? I'm not sure? Cause I need to have access to the transformation property to put them in the meta like <meta name="og:title" content-" <%# Eval("NewsTitle") %>" >. Thanks.

RE:Adding MetaTag from a Transformation

If someone need to know, I use this code for adding Facebook "og" metatag:

<script runat="server">
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e) {
 this.Page.Header.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"" + Eval("BlogPostTitle").ToString() +  "\" />"));
}</script>

Work great!
