Urgent! GridView and Templated controls binding. Plz help

[Shafia]

Hi,

My GridView has templated controls in it and I'm binding to an
ObjectDataSourc e. The problem is it refused to bind to my grid column
"ColumnName " which is also an UpdateCommand Parameter for the
ObjectDataSourc e. It displays the following error
"DataBindin g: 'System.String' does not contain a property with the name
'ColumnName'.
I've also cheched it with FormView and that is not binding either. same
error.

<ItemTemplate >

<asp:Label ID="Label5" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ColumnNam e")
%>'></asp:Label>

</ItemTemplate>

Plz help,

Shafia

is this correct?
<%# DataBinder.Eval (Label5.Text, "MyColumn") %>

where Label5 is a Label control on a Column Template for GridView. It
