Good Day all

i have the following

   <%# clsFlow.CleanBondNumber(Eval("ATB_NUMBER"))%>

and the Function CleanBondNumber is defined like this


Public Shared Function CleanBondNumber(ByVal val As Object) As String


        Dim Final_bond_acc_no As String = String.Empty

        If (val.ToString().Contains("Offer")) Then

            'Get rid of the Offer string 
            Dim Finalstring As String

            Finalstring = val.ToString.Substring(6)

            If (Finalstring.Contains(" ")) Then

                'Get the Position of the Space
                Dim SpacePost As Integer
                SpacePost = Finalstring.IndexOf(" ")

                Final_bond_acc_no = Finalstring.Substring(0, SpacePost - 1)

                Return Final_bond_acc_no

            Else
                Return val.ToString()
            End If

        Else

            If (val.Contains(" ")) Then

                'Get the Position of the Space
                Dim SpacePost As Integer
                SpacePost = val.IndexOf(" ")

                Final_bond_acc_no = val.Substring(0, SpacePost - 1)
                Return Final_bond_acc_no
            Else
                Return val.ToString()
            End If
        End If

    End Function

i stepped through the code and after it returns something i cant bind the Data, i get an Exception

	 <%# clsFlow.CleanBondNumber(Eval("ATB_NUMBER"))%>	'=' expected.

Thanks

0	Is it inside any Data controls like GridView or Repeater or directly on the page. If it is directly on the page whatever you have written is fine otherwise you have to write something like below <%= clsFlow.CleanBondNumber(Eval("ATB_NUMBER"))%> Replace # with =. # is used inside the Data controls only and = is used to write the value of the variable.
