Creating controls on the fly at runtime, and databinding them...?

**Wokawidget** · Jan 27th, 2005, 08:51 AM

In XML/HTML I can do:

Code:

<asp:Label id="lblDescription"  runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Description") %>'>
</asp:Label>

Now...I would like to do this in code behind:

Code:

Dim lblDescription As New Label
   lblDescription. ???? How do I add binding here?
   Me.Controls.Add lblDescription

Is this possible?

Hahaha:

Code:

lbl.Text = CType(DataBinder.Eval(lbl.DataItem, "AssetName"), String)

Think that's it.
