hi all

how can i bind data in a table with label control?
can i use like this

<asp:label id="lblPrice1" text= '<%# DataBinder.Eval("Price") %>' runat="server"/>

IT SAYS
"Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Eval' accepts this number of arguments."

CAN ANYONE HELP ME IN THIS CONTEXT

THANKS

The reason you are getting the error is because the Databinder doesnt work like that you have to do:

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Price")
or
Container.DataItem("Price")

hth

I WROTE THE WAY U SAID, BUT IT GIVES

"'DataItem' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.Control'"

<asp:label id="lblPrice1" text= '<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Price") %>' style="Z-INDEX: 102; LEFT: 360px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 208px"
                runat="server"/>PRICE</asp:label>

Remove 'Price' from between your label tags and trying using Container.Dataitem("Price") instead.

"The one language all programmers understand is profanity."

<asp:label id=lblPrice1 style="Z-INDEX: 102; LEFT: 360px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 208px" runat="server" text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Price") %>'/></asp:label>

BUT THE SAME ERRR
'DataItem' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.Control'"

I said, try using Container.Dataitem("Price"), remove the databinder.eval.

"The one language all programmers understand is profanity."

i am sorry, but its the same result getting
'DataItem' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.Control'"

<asp:label id=lblPrice1 style="Z-INDEX: 102; LEFT: 360px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 208px" runat="server" text='<%# Container.DataItem("Price") %>'/></asp:label>

The Databinder.Eval and Container.DataItem are designed to work inside of controls you have called Databind() on;

For example:

DataGrid.DataSource = DataTable;
DataGrid.DataBind();

If your label control is not inside a parent control that you are calling DataBind on, then you have to pragmatically set the text property:

foreach(DataRow dr in datatable){
  lblPrice1.text = dr["price"];
}

of course, if you are just returning just one row you dont need the for each loop, you can simply reference the column in the row that holds the data you want displayed in the label.




"The one language all programmers understand is profanity."

Dim dc As DataColumn
            Dim dr As DataRow
            For Each dr In Ds.Tables(0).Rows
                For Each dc In Ds.Tables(0).Columns
                    lblPrice1.text= dr(dc.["Price"].ToString())
                Next

            Next


IT SAYS "IDENTIFIER EXPECTED" NEAR ["Price"].ToString())

IS THIS THE CORRECT FORMAT OF "FOR LOOP" IN VB.NET?

THANKS

you wouldnt use the second for loop; and you cant use C# braces [ ] in VB.
