Question

If I have objects in my DataSource i.e

.Select(e => new { Foo = new { Bar = "HelloWorld" }, Price = 12345 }

how do I reference this using Eval?

<%# Eval("Foo.Bar") %>

doesn’t work? (Eval(“Price”) does….)

Is there anyway to do <%# Eval(Eval(“Foo”),”Bar”) %> or something ?

Answer 1

If this is in reference to a DataBound control where you’re binding to some List or anonymous IQueryable, you should be able to use Eval("Bar") since the Foo is already indicated in the bind.

Edit:
Looking at your update, if you want to use the <%# %> notation, you might be able to get away with it by using Container.DataItem.

<%#  ((Foo)Container.DataItem)["Bar"] %>
