How to get two-way databinding work in codebehind (2.0)?

[dieter]

Two-way databinding (as described in
http://dotnetjunkies.com/QuickStartv...templates.aspx)
works fine for me if I use it within aspx-files.
However, I would like to use it my codehind file and I don't know how
to get it work since I did not find any equivalent for "Bind" to use in
my ITemplate derived class.

For my ItemTemplate, I use
(int)((DataRowView)container.DataItem)[column] as equivalent to <%#
Eval ...%>

But was is the equivalent for <%# Bind ...%> to use in the
EditItemTemplate?
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Working code in aspx:

<asp:GridView ID="gv1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataKeyNames="UserID"
DataSourceID="DBUserFunctionRights">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="BaseLID" SortExpression="BaseLID" >
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList4" runat="server"
DataSourceID="DBLanguages"
DataTextField="LanguageUITextOrig"
DataValueField="LanguageID" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("BaseLID") %>'>
</asp:DropDownList>
</EditItemTemplate>

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label33" runat="server" Text='<%#
GetLangText((int)Eval("BaseLID")) %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

// ??? equivalent to <%# Bind > ???
}

I found a solution for my problem:

gv1.RowUpdating += new GridViewUpdateEventHandler(gv1_RowUpdating);
protected void gv1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs
e)
{
// value of template field has to be updated manually
int iIdx = gvUserFunctionRights.EditIndex;
GridViewRow row = gv1.Rows[iIdx];
DropDownList ddl =
(DropDownList)row.Controls[0].Controls[0];
e.NewValues["BaseLID"] = ddl.SelectedValue;
}
