Before Databinder.Eval

Question

..there used to be another method of binding items to data containers in ASP.Net using 'ItemBinder' property maybe but nothing on google refreshes my memory.

Typically, I would have a string array which when bound to say my DataGrid should show the array's values. This is an alternative method to DataBinder.Eval().

Thanks

You don't have to use the databinder.eval to bind a result.

You can just put in something like this:

`<%# (string)Container.DataItem %>'

Assuming you want the output of the array to be in a string, and assuming it's not already a string.
