Why is Container.DataItem being passed as a string literal?

Question

I'm trying to pass a string value to a javascript function from a LinkButton's OnClientClick event, but the function is receiving "<%# Container.DataItem %>" instead of the value. Here's the code:

OnClientClick="javascript:SaveQuotaGroupCode('<%# Container.DataItem %>');"

The container is a collection of strings. Why is it not evaluating?

EDIT: This is located in a nested ListView. The datasource for the inner ListView is a property in the datasource of the outer ListView.

Answer 1

OnClientClick="javascript:SaveQuotaGroupCode('<%# Eval("YourProperty") %>');"

Also, the collection should be transformed into a comma separated list of values as that is what the signature of the javscript function expects...
