Question

<ItemTemplate>
        <tr>
        <td>
            <asp:CheckBox runat="server" Text="<%#Container.DataItem('Text')%>" />  
        </td>
        </tr>
    </ItemTemplate>

How do I get Text to be set from the bound field (which is also called Text)? I tried many ways like Val(“”) but it always says an error.

For the example above it says : Compiler Error Message: CS1012: Too many characters in character literal.

If I change it to <asp:CheckBox runat="server" Text="<%#Container.DataItem("Text")%>" /> — it says : Parser Error Message: The server tag is not well formed.
