Error using Eval in asp.net

[Vimalsoft Pty Ltd]

Good Day all i have the following

<%# clsFlow.CleanBondNumber(Eval("ATB_NUMBER"))%>

and the Function CleanBondNumber is defined like this

Public Shared Function CleanBondNumber(ByVal val As Object) As String

    Dim Final\_bond\_acc\_no As String = String.Empty

    If (val.ToString().Contains("Offer")) Then

        'Get rid of the Offer string 
        Dim Finalstring As String

        Finalstring = val.ToString.Substring(6)

        If (Finalstring.Contains(" ")) Then

            'Get the Position of the Space
            Dim SpacePost As Integer
            SpacePost = Finalstring.IndexOf(" ")

            Final\_bond\_acc\_no = Finalstring.Substring(0, SpacePost - 1)

            Return Final\_bond\_acc\_no

        Else
            Return val.ToString()
        End If

    Else

        If (val.Contains(" ")) Then

            'Get the Position of the Space
            Dim SpacePost As Integer
            SpacePost = val.IndexOf(" ")

            Final\_bond\_acc\_no = val.Substring(0, SpacePost - 1)
            Return Final\_bond\_acc\_no
        Else
            Return val.ToString()
        End If
    End If

End Function  

i stepped through the code and after it returns something i cant bind the Data, i get an Exception <%# clsFlow.CleanBondNumber(Eval("ATB_NUMBER"))%> '=' expected. Thanks

Vuyiswa Maseko, Spoted in Daniweb-- Sorry to rant. I hate websites. They are just wierd. They don't behave like normal code. C#/VB.NET/ASP.NET/SQL7/2000/2005/2008 http://www.vuyiswamaseko.com vuyiswa[at]dotnetfunda.com http://www.Dotnetfunda.com

CommandName='<%# GetCommandNamebunit(Container.DataItem) %>'

And in code behind

Function GetCommandNamebunit(ByVal dataItem As Object) As String
    GetCommandNamebunit = "demotext"
    GetCommandNamebunit = String.Empty
    Dim texpinnerText = DirectCast(dataItem, Object).texp
    Dim bunitinnerText = DirectCast(dataItem, Object).bunit
    Dim rexpinnerText = DirectCast(dataItem, Object).rexp
    Dim bunitid = DirectCast(dataItem, Object).id
    Dim Str\_blevel
    Dim str\_alig
    Dim str\_TFrame
    Dim str\_bunit
    Dim str\_fiscalY
    Str\_blevel = sltBusinessLevel.SelectedValue
    str\_alig = sltAlignmentLevel.SelectedValue
    str\_TFrame = sltTimeFrame.SelectedValue
    str\_bunit = sltBusinessUnit.SelectedValue
    str\_fiscalY = sltFiscalYear.SelectedValue
    If str\_alig = 1 Then
        If Str\_blevel < 4 Then
            If texpinnerText <> "0" Then
                GetCommandNamebunit = "sendModuleValues"
            End If
        Else
            If texpinnerText <> "0" Then
                GetCommandNamebunit = "setonefacility"
            End If
        End If
    Else
        If Str\_blevel < 3 Then
            If texpinnerText <> "0" Then

                GetCommandNamebunit = "sendModuleValues"
            End If
        Else
            If texpinnerText <> "0" Then
                GetCommandNamebunit = "setonefacility"
            End If
        End If
    End If
End Function

This is working fine for you can take help from this.
