    Code:
    label1.Text=<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "columnName") %>
    That is assuming you are getting a dataset, datareader, or datatable as the source for the datalist. You substitute the columnName for the actual columns text you want.

    Just to clarify, this line:
    Code:
    label1.Text=<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "columnName") %>
    goes in the html part, not the code.
