Question

I am new to ASP.Net and I’m a little confused here.

While learning ASP.Net through some of the articles online, I notice some of the experts using some keywords for binding data and auto incrementing a date in source code, like <%#Container.DataItemIndex + 1 %>, <%#Eval("Itemid")%>, <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "itemStock")%> or <%=sectionId%>.

What are theese constructs called and where can I get the list of such keywords with an explanation?

Answer 1

these are generally known as inline tags, take note as there are quite a few different types.

You can find a detailed explanation of each type here:
