Bind problem: A call to Bind was not well formatted

Good day,

In smart form I have one special database field which I need to edit with two-way databinding with Bind command. I have created TextBox and set binding but when run the page this error displays:

Parser Error

Parser Error Message: A call to Bind was not well formatted. Please refer to documentation for the correct parameters to Bind.

Source Error:

Line 91: <h4>Codes</h4>
Line 92: <div class=specialGroup>
Line 93: <asp:TextBox ID="RoomCodeTextBox" runat="server" Text=<%# Bind("Room Code") %> ReadOnly="<%# Container.IsReadOnlyMode %>"></asp:TextBox>
Line 94: <br />
Line 95: </div>

I changed asp code in several ways but the problem didnt disappear

Hi Olivie,

The problem is caused by the ASP.NET Bind operator. It does not work when the field has spaces or other special characters. Your field name contains space and this is causing the error.

You can resolve this problem in two ways

Instead of TextBox you can use SmartDBControl. If you need some additional user interface template you can create one. For more information see the following KB article - HOWTO: Modify default template set.
In your case replace <%# Bind("Room Code") %> with <%# Eval("Room Code") %>. In addition you will need to write a line of code in order to extract the value back into the database.

Create an event handler for the SmartDBView.ValuesExtracted event and implement it in the following way.

Protected Sub SmartDBView1_ValuesExtracted(ByVal sender As Adillis.SmartDBForms.SmartDBView, ByVal e As Adillis.SmartDBForms.SmartDBViewExtractedArgs)
        e.Values("Room Code") = CType(sender.FindControl("RoomCodeTextBox"), TextBox).Text
End Sub

This code will transfer the value from the text box to the database data.

If you have any other questions, we will be more than happy to help you.
Best wishes,
