If you are using XSLT 2.0, you can use character maps:

<xsl:character-map name="escape-atts">
    <xsl:output-character character="&lt;" string="&lt;"/>
    <xsl:output-character character="&gt;" string="&gt;"/>
</xsl:character-map>

Remember to specify the map on xsl:output:

<xsl:output use-character-maps="escape-atts"/>

Also, you will have to nest your quotes correctly on the line:

imagefile="&lt;%# GetThumbnail("PhotoPress/{.}") %&gt;"

To:

imagefile='&lt;%# GetThumbnail("PhotoPress/{.}") %&gt;'

Or escape them to:

imagefile="&lt;%# GetThumbnail(&#34;PhotoPress/somefile.gif&#34;)
%&gt;">

And add the extra mapping:

<xsl:output-character character="&#34;" string="&#34;"/>
