Page.Databind

[HockeyFan]

I'm fairly new to ASP.Net. All the projects that I've worked on lately have
allowed binding to items on the page, via such as <%#
FunctionReturnsAString() %>. However, I had to do nothing in my codebehind,
other than define the function, to allow this to bind.
Recently, I built a project at home, using Visual Studio 2005 (same as
work), and none of the binding happened until I explicitly called
Page.Databind within the page load event routine of the codebehind. I
actually prefer it this way, as I have more control of when binding happens,
but I am curious as to where it gets set up automatically like at work. I've
asked at work, and no one seems to know. I'd really like to learn about how
to control this binding.

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through
some
of the previous questions before posting yours - always a recommended
practice), but this is a classic asp newsgroup.
ASP.Net is a different technology from classic ASP.
While you may be lucky enough to find a dotnet-savvy person here who
can
answer your question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your
question to a newsgroup where the dotnet-savvy people hang out. I
suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

If I knew how to get to that group via Microsoft's website, I would. They
don't name them that way and I can't accept nntp servers from work currently.

Just navigate through the .Net development node to the Framework node.
here's the link:

Also, there are forums at www.asp.net where you can get plenty of
support.
