values

Hi,
Using the html code below, How can I pass the value in --> <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Status") %
into ="<%# PopulateStatusData() %>">?

Thanks

<EditItemTemplate> <asp:Label id=lblTempStatus Visible="False" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Status") %>' Runat="server">
</asp:Label>
<asp:DropDownList id=Dropdownlist1 runat="server" DataTextField="Status" DataValueField="StatusID" DataSource="<%# PopulateStatusData() %>">
</asp:DropDownList>
</EditItemTemplate>
