I've recently started to convert from ASP to ASP.NET and I've noticed that VS.NET occasionally generates a construct I've not seen before and which I can't find in the help. It looks like:

<%# somevalue %>

and appears to be similar to the <%= ... %> construct.

Can anybody point me at a definition of this?

Thanks

Bob,

This is the databinding syntax and you will see it when values are being bound to web controls. You can read more on this on http://www.richcontentrotator.com/tu...taBinding.aspx.

Cheers!

Many thanks. MSDN failed as usual to provide me with the answer until I got the magic words 'Data Binding' from you.
