Question

This should be really easy but I can’t figure out how to make it work…

I have an ASP.NET UserControl (.ascx) with the following property:

public string LabelCssClass
{
    get
    {
        return _labelCssClass;
    }
    set
    {
        _labelCssClass = value;
    }
}

I want to bind that property into the HTML of the UserControl at run time, using the <%# syntax. I imagine it must be something along these lines:

<td class="<%# Eval("LabelCssClass") %>" >

I’ve tried all different versions of Eval() and so on … I’m not getting errors but the binding isn’t working, and my breakpoints show that the property is not being accessed.

Whats the correct syntax? cheers

I think what you might want is this:

   <td class="<%=LabelCssClass%>">
