Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control
I've spent loads of time Googling to try to work this one out and I'm
sure it's something obvious.
I get an InvalidOperationException reading "Databinding methods such as
Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a
databound control" when I start my page. Unless I'm missing something
obvious, this is *not* the same issue as the "2-way databinding
cascading lists" issue in
[url]http://www.webswapp.com/codesamples/aspnet20/dependentlists/default.aspx[/url]
(which is linked from everywhere; I kinda wish that were my problem ;o)
I have a templated databound custom server control, that I've built
with
a great deal of help from the two articles by 4GuysFromRolla's Scott
Mitchell ([url]http://masl.to/?S11823B6D[/url] and [url]http://masl.to/?P40821B6D[/url], both
on msdn.microsoft.com).
I don't seem to be able to use databinding syntax, however:
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TableCell runat="server"><%# Eval("First")
%></asp:TableCell>
...
</ItemTemplate>
bound to a List<Pair> gives me an exception:
[InvalidOperationException: Databinding methods such as Eval(),
XPath(),
and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.]

System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +49
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean
includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean
includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +3716
I don't get the exception if my databinding control is outside the
table
cell but, for a handful of other reasons, including that my
ItemTemplate
is being instantiated inside a TableRow, that won't work for me.
Any ideas gratefully received, as I'm completely lost.
