I got a string-to-double conversion error when I did this, but it worked after I changed the first '+' to '&'. – Resource Dec 04 '15 at 12:24
@user910683 I'm guessing you were using VB (not C#) in which yes, to more reliably concatenate values into a string, you should use `&` -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/734600/the-difference-between-and-for-joining-strings-in-vb-net – Don Cheadle Feb 18 '16 at 18:23

For concating two fields from db you can use string.Concat function in eval()

 Text='<%# string.Concat(Eval("FirstName"), " ", Eval("LastName"))%>'

This works fine for me:

<%#Class.something.ToString() & Eval("something_to_eval")%>

Doing this (without single quote) worked for me. And Visual Studio underlines it as a Validation warning.

 onclick=<%# "modCbClick('#tbl_" + Eval("ModCode") + "', this)" %>

Here is a good method I am using whereby I want to Concatenate a string to an Eval and use in the CommandArgument of a LinkButton.

Append string to start

CommandArgument='<%# String.Format(string.Concat("TextString", Eval("DBValue")))%>'

Append string to end

CommandArgument='<%# String.Format(string.Concat(Eval("DBValue"), "TextString"))%>'
