DataBinder.Eval usage in Href [modified]

I think
runat="server"is the culprit. Just remove it if you dont need. If you wantrunat="server"you can assign the href from the Server Side. I mean If it is inside an asp:Repeater to it insideItemDataBoundevent.Abhishek Sur **Don't forget to click "Good Answer" if you like this Solution.

Why? Thats just 10x more complicated than expressing it as an attribute.

Yes.. Event if it is complicated, but ASP.NET is meant to deal with this events. It is better to handle server controls in the server and client control in the designer. I generally dont mix both in designer. Well, its upon the choice though.. ;)

But the markup is also dealt with by the server:confused:
I know... It is actually parse through the marker during Page Initialization.... But I think those events are meant to handle those, so why do we avoid them and make all those unnecessary adjustments in the Markup. I always like clean html in the designer with Server Controls in place as well.. It is true, that sometimes I need to do those classic ASP style Server tags in designer, but I do like avoiding those. We create Server controls to have better grip of server side (which is the main motive of ASP.NET) which is absent in the Classic ASP where we always need to write Server Tags in between htmls. For instance we can easily write :
<asp:Label runat="server" Id="lbl" Text="<%=this.X %>"></asp:Label>(infact it will render nothing in the page) but we dont do, rather we use Page_Load and then setlbl.Text = this.X;Anyways, some like to write more and more Servertags within html, but personally I always like to handle them from codebehind, if it is avoidable. :):thumbsup:Abhishek Sur **Don't forget to click "Good Answer" if you like this Solution.
