  bind to label in gridview and do string formatting

  Nov 06, 2012 01:04 PM|LINK

  using asp.net/vb.net 2010

  I need to bind a value to a .net control and do the string formatting but the code below is throwing an error. whats the correct syntax for this?  what I have is below:

  <asp:TextBox ID="txtProdPrice" runat="server"
  Text='<%# String.Format("{0:f2}",DataBinder.Bind("ProductPrice"))%>' >
   </asp:TextBox>

  thanks

  This works for me:

  Text='<%# Eval("ProductPrice", "{0:f2}") %>'
