What is the difference between Bind() and Eval()?

Eval is a one way(read only) binding. This method is used when you want to bind value to a readonly control like Label.

Bind is a two way(read/write) binding. This method is used when you want to bind value to a read/write control like textbox.

If Eval is used for two way binding, then an error occurs. Consider an example

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
        DataKeyNames="testid">
        <Columns>
            <asp:TemplateField>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <%# Eval("testname")%>
                </ItemTemplate>
                <EditItemTemplate>
                    <asp:TextBox ID="edtName" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("testname") %>' />
                </EditItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>
            <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True"></asp:CommandField>
        </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>
    <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:TestingConnectionString %>"
        SelectCommand="SELECT [testid], [testname] FROM [test12]" UpdateCommand="Update [test12] SET [testname]=@testname WHERE [testid]=@testid"></asp:SqlDataSource>

Here in edititemtemplate Eval() is used instead of Bind(). So you run this program and try to update the record you will get this error -

Must declare the scalar variable "@testname".

If Eval() is changed to Bind() then this program will work fine.
