Implementing two way binding for non databound controls

[Stephen Cossgrove]

Hi

i am currently trying to bind a object property to a RadTextBox and am getting the following error when using the <%# Bind(DataItem.Name) %> method:

System.InvalidOperationException: Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(),
and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.

I can bind using the following, but it is only one way:

%# DataBinder.Eval(this, "DataItem.Name") %>

How can i get two way binding?

Hello Stephen,

To perform two-way binding you could use this method:
Text='<%# Bind("Name") %>'

For more information, please refer to this help topic:
