This method has an overloaded version that accepts the format
expression as an additional parameter that relates to the type of formatting that you
would require on the data to be displayed. The syntax for using the Eval() method
is shown as follows:
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "expression"[, "format"]) %>
As shown in the code snippet the Eval() method accepts two parameters:
The first of these parameters is the data container, that is, a data table, a data
set or a data view.
The second parameter is a reference to the value that needs to be assigned to
the control.
