Eval in anchor href
<p>I have the following code behind:</p>

<pre><code>protected string VcdControlPanelLink { get; set; }

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    VcdControlPanelLink = "http://www.mywebsite.com";
}
</code></pre>

<p>And the following markup:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;a href='&lt;%# Eval(VcdControlPanelLink) %&gt;' target="_blank" title="View the VDC control panel"&gt;VDC control panel&lt;/a&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>But when I run the page, the href tag is rendered as an empty string:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;a title="View the VDC control panel" target="_blank" href=""&gt;VDC control panel&lt;/a&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I have tried various combinations of markup etc, but cannot get it to work. What am i missing?</p>
