When ASP.NET parses your file and sees you're using</p> it generates some special code for it. When you use it's not a real function call. If ASP.NET parses the code and detects a Bind() statement, it splits the statement into two parts. The first part is the one-way databinding portion, which ends up being just a regular Eval() call. The second part is the reverse portion, which is typically some code along the lines of "string name = TextBox1.Text" that grabs the value back out from where it was bound. However, because ASP.NET has to parse Bind() statements, two-way databinding doesn’t support anything other than Bind(). For example, the following syntax is invalid because it tries to invoke arbitrary code and use Bind() at the same time: <p>The only formats supported in two-way databinding are Bind("field") and Bind("field", "format string {0}").</p> </blockquote> <p>You could use Eval instead of Bind in your EditItemTemplate. You also need to cast to string:</p> <pre><code><asp:Label ID="LabelDescription" runat="server" Text='<%# System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode((string)Eval("Description")) %>' /> </code></pre>
