绑定的asp.net页中的文本

Question

I have an asp.net page in a VS2010 project. I've bound the page to a dataset, and I have a line in the front end which looks like this:

<asp:Label ID="lblInCommon" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("NumInterests") %>' >
</asp:Label>

Works perfect.

Now, what I want to do is append the word "Interests" to the label. So, I tried this:

<asp:Label ID="lblInCommon" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("NumInterests") %> Interests'>
</asp:Label>

Doesn't like it. So I tried this:

<asp:Label ID="lblInCommon" runat="server" Text="'<%#Eval("NumInterests") %>' Interests">
</asp:Label>

Doesn't like that either. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I'm at the point where I'm ready to just put 2 labels back-to-back, but I have to believe this is possible to do in the same label.

Answer 1

You should be able to do the following:

<asp:Label ID="lblInCommon" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("NumInterests") + "Interests" %>' >

Inside <%# %> is basically just evaluated code so you can treat it as such and even do things like call functions.
