Question

I’m trying to bind a bool from the server to the markup:

<asp:BoundField DataField="RevSharePercent" HeaderText="Revenue Share Percentage"
  SortExpression="RevSharePrecentage" ReadOnly="<%=SetFieldsReadOnly%>" />

but rendering shows the following error:

Parser Error Message: Literal content ('<asp:BoundField
DataField="RevSharePercent" HeaderText="Revenue Share Percentage"
SortExpression="RevSharePrecentage" ReadOnly="') is not allowed within a
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlFieldCollection'.

Source Error: 
Line 59:<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#E8E8E8" /> 
Line 60:    <Fields> 
Line 61:      <asp:BoundField DataField="RevSharePercent" HeaderText="Revenue Share Percentage" 
Line 62:        SortExpression="RevSharePrecentage" ReadOnly="<%# Bind("SetFieldsReadOnly") %>" /> 
Line 63:      <asp:BoundField DataField="ScreeningPercent" HeaderText="Screening Percentage" 
                SortExpression="ScreeningPercent" ReadOnly="<%# Bind("SetFieldsReadOnly") %>" />

update
Tried “<%#Bind(“SetFieldsReadOnly”) %>”
and ReadOnly=”<%#Eval(“SetFieldsReadOnly”) %>” />
both didn’t work

Parser Error Message: Literal content (‘

Answer 1

I think you need to try:

'<%# Bind("SetFieldsReadOnly") %>'

or

'<%# Eval("SetFieldsReadOnly") %>'

rather than

<%=SetFieldsReadOnly%>

note the Bind / Eval.

just found this information regarding syntax on another site

In ASP.NET 1.1 the databinding tags were:

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, ''expression'' ) %>
<%# DataBinder.Eval( '', '', ''format string'') %>

ASP.NET 2.0 offer those as well as the following:

<%# Eval(''expression'') %>
<%# Eval(''expression'', ''format string'') %>
<%# Bind(''expression'') %>
<%# Bind(''expression'', ''format string'') %>
