Answer 1

You need parentheses after the function name here:

void BindEmpData()
{
    ...
} 

Also, you'll want to make sure you initialize the DataSet correctly:

void BindEmpData()
{
    SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("select e.ENO,e.ENAME,e.JOB,e.SAL,d.DNAME form EMPLOYEE e,DEPARTMENT d where e.DNO=d.DNO",cn);
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    da.Fill(ds,"EMPLOYEE"); 
    Repeater1.DataSource = ds.Table["EMPLOYEE"];
    Repeater1.DataBind();
} 

And at this point you can remove the ds and da class members, since they are no longer being used (they've been replaced by function variables).

Answer 2

Parentheses is required to differentiate a method from a property that requires the get/set syntax
