Try casting the Container:
 
DataBinder.Eval(((DataGridItem)Container).DataItem, "MenuDesc")

Subject: [aspx_professional] Loading Templates Dynamically in DataList
Control ??



Hi,

  I am trying to load ItemTemplate by using statement below in C#.

  DataList1.ItemTemplate=Page.LoadTemplate("PathToTemplateFile");

In template File I have code as :

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button id=btnMenuTab runat="server" CssClass="MenuTab"
CommandName="Menu" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"MenuDesc")
%>' CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ID")
%>'></asp:Button>
</ItemTemplate>


  But I am getting following error:

  Compiler Error Message: CS0117: 'System.Web.UI.Control' does not
contain a definition for 'DataItem'.

  Need to know what is wrong there?
