Hi everybody,

I have a question about asp.net's labels and the DataBind method.  I have a
method in a code-behind page (this is VisualStudio 2003 btw) that
(simplified) looks like this:

public string GetName()
{
   string sName = "";
   if(Session["ds"] != null)
       sName = Session("fname").ToString() + " " +
Session("lname").ToString();
   return sName;
}

My label code says this:

      <asp:Label CssClass="Normal2" Runat="server" ID="Label124">
          <%# GetName() %>
     </asp:Label>

The thing is, I can't execute GetName() unless I call Label124.DataBind() in
my code-behind.  Is there a way to do it without the DataBind() call?
