Try removing Runat=server from the textbox inside the template.

You don't need parens around the DataBinder:

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Validated">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:textbox id=test
runat="server"
Text='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"Validated") %>'>
</asp:textbox>

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

thanks Rock but it still gives the error

Hi

I placed a checkboxcontrol in a datagrid:

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<aspataGrid id="DataGrid1" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 152px; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 56px"
runat="server" Height="288px" Width="368px">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="test" Text='<%#(DataBinder.Eval(Container,
DataItem.customerid"))%' Runat=server>
</asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</aspataGrid>
</form>

the textbox is enclosed by the form tag so what could be wrong?

Hey Jim,

You just need to put the quotes in the right places and not add extras. You
have a quote after customerid" that shouldn't be there. Try this?

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:datagrid id="DataGrid1" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 152px;
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 56px"
runat="server" Height="288px" Width="368px">
<columns>
<asp:templatecolumn>
<itemtemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="test"
Text='<%#(DataBinder.Eval(Container,DataItem.customerid))%>' Runat="server">
</asp:textbox>
</itemtemplate>
</asp:templatecolumn>
</columns>
</asp:datagrid>
</form>
