Answer 1

Hi,

this forum is for questions about html, css and scripting for webdevelopers using msie browsers.

You question would be better suited in a c# forum.... VS has intellisence.... display the error console in VS and double click on the error item to display the online help about the error number.

Hi, the following codes are correct.

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Title")%>

Regarding:

<%# "Hello World"%>

Since it will only output "Hello World" string, you can just put

Hello World

on your markup. Regarding the error message, it can occur due to some error with behind codes. Please set breakpoints to your behind codes and debug them. Additionally, since this issue is related to ASP.NET, you can also post your issue to ASP.NET forum:
