Urgent! GridView and Templated controls binding. Plz help

[Shafia]

Hi,

My GridView has templated controls in it and I'm binding to an
ObjectDataSource. The problem is it refused to bind to my grid column
"ColumnName" which is also an UpdateCommand Parameter for the
ObjectDataSource. It displays the following error
"DataBinding: 'System.String' does not contain a property with the name
'ColumnName'.
I've also cheched it with FormView and that is not binding either. same
error.

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:Label ID="Label5" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ColumnName")
%>'></asp:Label>

</ItemTemplate>



Plz help,

Shafia

Hi,

Please let me know what is the container supposed to be
is this correct?


<%# DataBinder.Eval(Label5.Text, "MyColumn") %>

where Label5 is a Label control on a Column Template for GridView. It
gives me compilation error
Label5 can not be refencened in this context

Thanks
