FileInfo not working in DataGrid

[tshad]

I am having a problem with my Datagrid that displays my Files via GetFiles()

If I use a HyperLinkColumn - I can use the column name "Name" which is what
the result from GetFiles().

*************** *************** *************** ***********
Sub GetFileList()
Dim dirInfo as DirectoryInfo = new
DirectoryInfo(S erver.MapPath("/uploads/"))

articleList.Dat aSource = dirInfo.GetFile s("*.txt")
articleList.Dat aBind()
End Sub
*************** *************** *************** *************** **

I added a LinkButton as I am having a problem with the HyperLinkColumn but
for some reason I am getting an error that says:

No default member found for type 'FileInfo'.

I am using the following LinkButton definition in my DataGrid:

<asp:LinkButt on ID="DocumantNam e" Text='<%# Container.DataI tem("Name")%>'
OnClick="SetNam e_Click" runat="server"/>

Am I not setting my Text attribute correctly? "Name" works for the
HyperLinkColumn , why not for the LinkButton?

Here is the whole DataGrid:
*************** *************** *************** *********
<asp:datagrid id="articleList "
AutoGenerateCol umns="False"
Font-Name="Verdana"
DataKeyField="F ullName"
OnItemDataBound ="articleList_I temDataBound"

Have you tried using:
<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "Name") %>

or, if you're in 2.0, just:

<%# Eval("Name") %>

or...

<%# ctype(Container .DataItem, FileInfo).Name %>

<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "Name") %>

Yes, and it works. Why don't I have to do the same in the HyperLinkColumn ?

I also have to do the same thing with HyperLink as I do with LinkButton (as
you suggested).

Thanks,

Tom
