Function calling (newbie?)

[Gmansky]

I am having difficulty trying to output a function that I created on the
codeblock of my aspx page.

I have a
function displaytext(mytext as string)
displaytext = replace(mytext, vbcrlf, "<br>")
end function

I'm getting an error when I use this on the html side
<td>
<%# displayText(<%#container.dataitem('Description')%>) %>
</td>

What is the correct way of calling a function and passing a data from the
repeater?

Thanks,
George

Take the function call out of the server side databind tag, you've already
instructed the server to process the data. Also, make sure that you're
calling Page.DataBind().

If these suggestions don't work, please post more information such as the
actual error you're receiving and more of the page code.

<td>
<%# displayText(<%#container.dataitem('Description')%>) %>
</td>

I think this may be what the other response is trying to say (wasn't sure):

<td>
<%# displayText(container.dataitem('Description')) %>
</td>

note the removed 'inner bind statement'...doesn't work that way

Yeah, that's exactly what I was saying. I should have posted the code.
Sorry!
