datagrid - label - method syntax problem

CharlieOz1

Hi,

I am having trouble with the datagrid.
I have a label in an ItemTemplate.
I have a simple function in the label which I have tested and works
(the function does pass back a system.drawing. colour)

I do not know the syntax to pass "theID" into this function!

I am trying stuff like

<asp:Label id="lblName" runat="server" BackColor="<%#
functionName(Co ntainer.DataIte m) %>">Some Text</asp:Label>
and
<asp:Label id="lblName" runat="server" BackColor="<%#
functionName(Co ntainer.DataIte m.theID) %>">Some Text</asp:Label>
and
<asp:Label id="lblName" runat="server" BackColor="<%#
functionName(Da taBinder.Eval(C ontainer, "DataItem.theID ")) %>">Some
Text</asp:Label>
and
<asp:Label id="lblName" runat="server" BackColor="<%#
functionName(Da taItem.theID) %>">Some Text</asp:Label>
and
<asp:Label id="lblName" runat="server" BackColor="<%#
functionName(Da taBinder.Eval(C ontainer.DataIt em.theID)) %>">Some
Text</asp:Label>
Help please

Actually BackColor is misleading in the design view of a label, the
background color in the template should be something like
style="backgrou nd-color: pink"

Note there is a colon right after "color" in the above.
