DataBinder.Eval is a helper function to evaluate data, and it use
reflection (late binding) to find right property in your item. You can
display data without using DataBinder.Eval, but you need to cast
Container.DataItem to the right type.
Note: Because DataBinder.Eval performs late-bound evaluation, using
reflection at run time, it can cause performance to noticeably slow
compared to explicit casting.
I used to advocate explicit casting in this newsgroup a while ago. There was
a strong opposition to it from quite experienced developers claiming that
the performance gain is not that significant comparing with the advantages
of using Eval. The major one is that with Eval you can change your
datasource without touching your databinding expressions. I can hear this
argument very well.

Alexey, could you please show some examples of what you have
explained? Sorry I couldn't exactly follow the difference.
Thanks to both of you....

Here's a good article about that difference http://odetocode.com/Articles/278.aspx
DataItem returns a reference to an object, and to return a value in
the proper type you need to cast it (especially for C#). Maybe it
makes no sense when we are talking just about simple strings but it
can be useful when you have some casting, e.g. show an integer as a
currency, etc.
DataBinder.Eval allows to avoid using casts because it finds
dynamically a property and its type by the name at runtime.
I agree. I've heard that same argument (about performance) from Nikhil
Kothari himself.
