DataGrid problem - Combine 2 fields

[CuMPeEWeEr [No MCSD]]

I am trying to combine FirstName and LastName to display in one column on
DataGrid, but it gave me an error saying "Preprocessor directives must
appear as the first non-whitespace character on a line". How should I do
this?

<asp:DataGrid ....
<columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn...>
<ItemTemplate>

<asp:literal id="Name" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,
"DataItem.FirstName") %><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.LastName")
%>' />

You don't need the literal Control!

Just type:

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.FirstName") %>&nbsp;<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.LastName")%>' />
