  Binding question concatenating a string literal with eval

  Jan 20, 2007 06:15 PM|LINK

  Trying to concatenate a string literal with a eval statement for a label in my datalist itemtemplate:

  <asp:label runat="server" id="lblPosted"  text='POSTED ON: <%# eval("TopicPosted") %>' />

  works fine and properly shows the date posted if I remove the POSTED ON: above

  If I run it as above, get ONLY the POSTED ON: displaying, with the eval seemingly not performing (but no error)

  know I can manage this through rowdatabound in this datalist I'm using, but this seems simpler

  (also, know I could combine the literal and the bind directly in the template with:

  POSTED ON: <%# eval("TopicPosted") %> <br />

  but need the label here as I turn it's visibility on/off due to other conditions)

  is it the server control somehow does not allow concatenating a literal with an eval in a property?

  Did you try: text='<%# "POSTED ON:" + eval("TopicPosted") %>'?

  Hope this helps,

  Try:

    text='<%# "POSTED ON: " + eval("TopicPosted") %>'
