Passing DataList Value to User Control

[jtgurkin]

I am trying to pass a datalist value to a user control like this:
<aspataList RepeatColumns="2" runat=server ID=features DataSourceId=VfiData HorizontalAlign=center >
<ItemStyle BorderWidth="7" BorderColor="#0A2B32" HorizontalAlign=center />
<ItemTemplate>
<vfi:ItemDetail ID=ItemDetail1 ItemID='<%#Container.DataItem("ItemID").ToString %>' runat=server />

</ItemTemplate>
</aspataList>

When I try to run the page i get the following error
Object variable or With block variable not set

It is not passing the value through. I do have a databind set up and if i remove the control and just put <%#Container.DataItem("ItemID").ToString %>, the proper value is displayed.

thanks

You are using the ToString method without paretheses. The problem might be related to that?
