    <p>How can I format data coming from a DataBinder.Eval statement in an ASPX page?</p> <p>For example, I want to display the published date of the news items in a particular format in the homepage. I'm using the ASP.NET 2.0 Repeater control to show the list of news items.</p> <p>The code for this goes like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1"&gt; &lt;HeaderTemplate&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="255"&gt;&lt;/HeaderTemplate&gt; &lt;ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td &gt; &lt;a href='/content/latestNews.aspx?id=&lt;%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "id") %&gt;'&gt; &lt;asp:Label ID="lblNewsTitle" runat="server" Text='&lt;%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "title") %&gt;'&gt;&lt;/asp:Label&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;asp:Label ID="lblNewsDate" runat="server" Text='&lt;%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "publishedDate"))%&gt;'&gt;&lt;/asp:Label&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;FooterTemplate&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/FooterTemplate&gt;&lt;/asp:Repeater&gt; </code></pre> <p>Is there a way I could call a custom method with the DataBinder.Eval value as its parameter (something like below)?</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:Label ID="lblNewsDate" runat="server" Text='&lt;%# GetDateInHomepageFormat(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "publishedDate")) )%&gt;'&gt;&lt;/asp:Label&gt; </code></pre> <p>If yes, then where do I write the GetDateInHomepageFormat method? I tried out in the code behind page but got a run time error? If this is not possible, is there a way to do inline formatting?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
