DataBinder in asp.net

Question

i have this: ( useing Repeater but this bit long with all the fields problem is with this one)

<td valign="top">
<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Category")%>
</td>

and :

        RentalCarBL.CarBL bl = new RentalCarBL.CarBL ();

        List<Car> cars = bl.GetAll();

        rpCars.DataSource = cars;

        rpCars.DataBind();

it works fine on all the fields of the class Car all but one the category is a class in it self
how do i make it show the the inner field of the class Category (lets say Category.name)?

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Category")

returns an object type.

You should convert it to your category's class type first. such as

((YourCategoryClassName)DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Category")).CategoryName
