DataBinder.Eval()

Does this work in C# too?
<%# SomeFunc(DataBinder.Eval(Containter.DataItem, "ColName")%>

ASPX tags are not affected by the language chosen for CodeBehind or server
side scripting tags.

thats not quite correct.

on an aspx page any code in <% %> or <%# %> must use the syntax of the
language picked for the page. with c# you must be careful of it stricter
type checking. DataBinder.Eval alway returns a string to make it easier to
use from C#.

I converted this VB code:-
Protected Function CheckUnit(Units As Object) As String
If Integer.Parse(Units) = 0 Then
Return "No Units"
Else
Return Units.ToString()
End If
End Function

to C#:-
Protected string CheckUnit(Units Object)

If (int.Parse(Units) == 0 ){
return "No units";
}
Else
{
return Units.ToString();
}
}
End Function

Thx Bruce for the response!
And i have noticed C# is much stricter.
In VB.Net i know this works:-
<%# CheckUnit(DataBinder.Eval(Containter.DataItem, "ColName")%>

How would i call "DataBinder.Eval" to get the same result as above using
C#.
Any ideas?
