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>

ObjectDataSource. It displays the following error

"DataBinding: 'System.String' does not contain a property with the
name 'ColumnName'.

Sounds like what you're databinding to is a String.

Yes I'm binding to a string type "UpdateCommandParameter" of
"ObjectDataSource".
Please tell me what am I doing wrong

<ItemTemplate>

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

</ItemTemplate>

Even the following doesnt work


<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label6" runat="server" Text = '<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Label6.DataItem, "ColumnName") %>'
OnDataBinding="Label6_DataBinding"></asp:Label>

</ItemTemplate>


Thanks,
Shafia
