DataGrid - DataBinder.Eval

[Ganesh]

I am using a Datagrid and am populating the column header
which is being picked up from a database.
My problem is that if the column name conatins a "."
within the name then it throws an error as follows

DataBinder.Eval: 'System.Data.DataRowView' does not
contain a property with the name The Tools Mfg.
Error Stack :at
System.Web.UI.DataBinder.GetPropertyValue(Object
container, String propName)

Any help on this issue will be appreciated.
PLease if anyone reading this help asap as I'm stuck with
the same.

Hi Ganesh,

I created a column named a.a and I put some data in it b.b

Then I setup a datagrid with this binding:
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.a.a") %>
It failed as you described.

Then I got it to work by changing the binding function to this
<%# Container.DataItem("a.a") %>

I hope this helps.

Thank you, Mike
