Replace characters in a Field when bindig data

[Satish Appasani]

I have a drop down field on a form. When binding data to the DataValueField
property of the drop down, I need to replace "&" with "%".

In code behind I tried

DataValueField='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "CATEGORY_VALUE")
%>'

I get the following error:

Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'DataItem' is not a member of
'System.Web.UI.Control'.

I tried DataSource in place of DataItem but similar error.
Can somebody please help me?

Thank you.

Hi

My guess is you should replace values in sql query itself.
