inline or databind expressions in ASP.NET

Question

it's a related question to this one, but merits its' own question.
If I need to call a server-side function inside my EditItemTemplate of my DataList, should I use <%=ServerSideFunction(...)%> or <%#ServerSideFunction(...)%>?
Both work since there is a databind going on with the DataList

Answer 1

if you want to bind data use : <%#ServerSideFunction(...)%>

If you want to write(<% Response.Write( ) %>) something use : <%=ServerSideFunction(...)%>
