What's the difference between <#eval and <#bind in asp.net

Question

In a gridview, we can use <%#Eval%> or <%#Bind%> to output values from a database. What is the difference between them?

Answer 1

as they said Eval is one way and Bind is two way but one more important difference Bind must be assigned to a property of server side control (runat="server") while you can assign Eval to server side or client side control

    
         <%--you can do this--%>
         
         <%--you can do this--%>
         
         

         <%--WILL CAUSE AN ERROR--%>
             "<%#Bind('xx')  %>" 
         <%--you can do this--%>
             "<%#Eval('xx')  %>"
