It seems that, you are trying to add controls to page dynamically. In this case, you can use the below code

var control = new HtmlGenericControl("script") ;
control.Attributes.Add("type", "text/javascript");
control.Attributes.Add("src", Page.ResolveClientUrl("~/scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js"));
//CDN will be best while hosting the application
//control.Attributes.Add("src", "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js");
this.Page.Header.Controls.Add(control);
