Converting value of an Eval from int to string

Question

I have an integer stored in my database that I need to convert string.

This is my attempt at the Eval:

<%# ChangeSalaryType(Eval(\"SalaryType\"))          


        

Answer 1

Even though you know that the SalaryType field will be an int in your aspx it will be cast as object after the Eval(). Do an explicit cast like so:

<%# ChangeSalaryType(Convert.ToInt32(Eval("SalaryType"))) %>
