How can the text property of the label web server control be formatted to
display more than one piece of text. For exmaple - I currently have the
below code. Currently this will just display the "ID" dataitem, but I want
it to say "The identification number is "ID"". How would I do this?

CODE...
Text='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ID") %>'
 
Hi,

Try this?

<asp:Label runat="server" Text='<%#
[String].Concat("The identification number is ", DataBinder.Eval(Container,
"DataItem.ID"),".") %>'>
</asp:label>

Create your own custom control which inherits from
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label.

Ken, Unfortunately not. Thanks for your help, though.

What doesn't work about it?

Hello Daniel,

You cannot be serious... Why would you need to derive a new custom control
just to set the Text property?
 
I have no idea if this will work.

<Text=' The identification number is <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"ID") %>'
