Eval in asp.net
<pre><code> public void item_bound(object sender,DataGridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                if((e.Item.ItemType  == ListItemType.Item) || (e.Item.ItemType  == ListItemType.AlternatingItem))`enter code here`
                {
                    string  Status  =(string)DataBinder.**Eval**(e.Item.DataItem,"customer_status");
                    Image Image = new Image();
                    Image = (Image)e.Item.Cells[1].FindControl("imgbtnstatus");
                    //Image.Command +=new CommandEventHandler(Image_Command);
                    //Image.Attributes.Add("SEmpId  ", SEmpId );
                    if (Status == "Active")
                        Image.ImageUrl = "~/images/activeuser.png";
                    else
                        Image.ImageUrl = "~/images/inactiveuser.png";
                }
            }
            catch(Exception ex){Response.Write(ex.ToString());
            }
        }
</code></pre>
