Q: 

how to databind a datalist's page index to a button's commandname?

i got this inside a button inside a datalist

CommandName="<%# Container.ItemIndex %>"

when i click the button, i'm expecting commandname to = 0, then 1, then 2, etc, as the datalist progresses, and i'm using that value in the button click's c#

but i'm getting this error, i'm pretty sure i'm using this exact setup on another page and i have no problems, any idea what's going on?

A: 

figured out this will work for some reason, posting for future searchers

CommandName='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,"ItemIndex")  %>'
