DataBinder.Eval and Eval.

In asp.net 1.x we used something like
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "FieldName" ) for binding data.

Now, in asp.net 2.0 I see a lot of "Eval( fieldname )" and not the
older format.
I guess they are equivalent, but I can't find information about the
difference.
I suspect the new Eval does not work exactly the way the old
DataBinder.Eval used to work.

For the most part, they are the same..they just decided to make it so we had
to type less :)

Hello, I am trying to bind a DataGrid with some data from a DataSet which contains fields in the form "group.fieldname".

Pretty much, TSIA, but I'll expand a bit: I'm still trying to get my head around the n-tier approach to web design. It seems to me that when you use DataBinder.Eval in the ASPX that your tiers aren't fully separated. If you're displaying data in a DataGrid, is it appropriate to define a label in your template column as <asp:Label runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "MyField")%>' /> or is it better to do that...
