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

I prefer to send the DataItem on code behind, and there get the data as:

<%#RenderSalaryType(Container.DataItem)%>

and on code behind

protected string RenderSalaryType(object oItem)
{
    int salaryType = (int)DataBinder.Eval(oItem, "SalaryType");

    // rest of your code
}
