datagrid - label - method syntax problem

[Guest]

Hi,

I am having trouble with the datagrid.
I have a label in an ItemTemplate.
I have a simple function in the label which I have tested and works
(the function does pass back a system.drawing.colour)

I do not know the syntax to pass "theID" into this function!

I am trying stuff like

<asp:Label id="lblName" runat="server" BackColor="<%#
functionName(Container.DataItem) %>">Some Text</asp:Label>
and
<asp:Label id="lblName" runat="server" BackColor="<%#
functionName(Container.DataItem.theID) %>">Some Text</asp:Label>
and
<asp:Label id="lblName" runat="server" BackColor="<%#
functionName(DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.theID")) %>">Some
Text</asp:Label>
and
<asp:Label id="lblName" runat="server" BackColor="<%#
functionName(DataItem.theID) %>">Some Text</asp:Label>
and
<asp:Label id="lblName" runat="server" BackColor="<%#
functionName(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem.theID)) %>">Some
Text</asp:Label>


Help please
Charlie

Actually BackColor is misleading in the design view of a label, the
background color in the template should be something like
style="background-color: pink"

Note there is a colon right after "color" in the above.

Charlie,

What id are you trying to pass?
