The .NET Framwork 2.0 introduces Eval() . Eval() is a shortcut for Container.DataItem() . Since Eval() uses Reflection, it causes overhead. From a optimization standpoint, it is better to use Container.DataItem() .

VB.NET
Container.DataItem()

C#
DataReader: ((System.Data.Common.DbDataRecord)Container.DataItem)[]
DataSet: ((System.Data.DataRowView)Container.DataItem)[]
