I need to basically perform a calculation on a DataItem and then display it as a Currency, I know how to do each bits individually but not together!! Can someone point me in the right Direction??

This is how I display things as a currency:

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "decAmount", "{0:c}") %>

and this is how I perform the calculation:

<%# Container.DataItem("decAmount") / 100 * 17.5 %>

How do I do both together??

Thanks

In your code:

Public Function ProcessData(intInput As Integer)

Return intInput / 100 * 17.5

End Function

In your design:


<%# ProcessData(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "decAmount", "{0:c}")) %>
