I have a user control (ascx) that I have added two public properties to: RequestTypeId and GroupId. Both have the attribute set.

In my aspx page, I have a ListView, and in the ItemTemplate, I place my control reference, like so:

 <ctrl:ServiceTypeGroup runat="server" RequestTypeId="<%#RequestType.RequestTypeId%>" GroupId='<%#Eval("Id").ToString()%>' />

Setting the RequestTypeId works fine. Setting the GroupId fails with the following error:

"Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control."

What do I need to do to my user control code to allow binding a Eval() expression to one of its properties? Or is it not possible?
