calling public shared function from a datagrid template column

[hansiman]

isn't it possible to call a public shared function that resides in
another file directly from the datagrid html code?:

<asp:TemplateCo lumn HeaderText="Pas sword">
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:Label runat="server"
Text='<%# DecryptString(D ataBinder.Eval( Container,
"DataItem.Passw ord")) %>' />
</ItemTemplate>

Currently I have a DecryptString in the code behind the datagrid. This
function simply calls the same public shared function.

Sure. Just call it!

You'll need to specify the namespace and class like normal:

<%# Utility.Decrypt String(...) %>

I tried this and it gives me the following error

Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'Utility' is not declared.

Is utility the actual name of the class?

Is it in the same namespace as the page? If not, you need to qualify the
class name either via an @Import or via
SomeNamespace.U tility.DecryptS tring...

thanks.

I wasn't aware that I could include
<%@ Import Namespace="
directly in the html file.
