Solution 2

Replace EVAL with Eval.
Try this:

ASP.NET

<EditItemTemplate>
    <asp:TextBox ID="txt_Discription" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Discription")%>'>    
    </asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>

Solution 1

use double quotes instead of single quotes for i.e #EVAL("Discription")

When i am trying #EVAL("Discription") this
it is showing following error.
"Server tags cannot contain<%...%> constructs"
