The following error message is baffling me :

Compiler Error Message: CS1026: ) expected


<asp:Literal id="lblAmount_Attempted" runat="server" text='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, _
"Amount_Attempted") %>' />


...there should be no nested parenthesis in the preceeding code

?????

I think Eliyahu is right...

I do not believe that the line continuation character _ used in VB.net
is valid in the HTML design view in asp.net. I would try moving the
content all to one line instead of breaking it accross two.

Yeah, i would have to agree. I don't know how picky ASP is but i would
add a space between the / and the > at the close tag. I always do
because I'm afraid of it yelling and screaming at me.
 
What is an underscore character after Container.DataItem, for?

You can break across two. You just don't need any underscores for that.
