Quotes in server tags?

[ThatRickGuy]

Hey Guys,
I have a data repeater, I am trying to put a user control into that repeater. The problem I am running into is trying to uses quotes (") in the server tag, for example:

<uc1:wucSlide ID="WucSlide2" runat="server" IndexPos="<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, [b]"IndexPos"[/b]) %>" Title="Test"/>

Fails with "the server tag is invalid". I tried a variety of single quote ('), quote("), escaped quote ("", \") and the only thing that I found to work was converting the string into a concatination of chr commands:

<uc1:wucSlide ID="WucSlide2" runat="server" IndexPos="<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, [b]chr(73) & chr(110) & chr(100) & chr(101) & chr(120) & chr(112) & chr(111) & chr(115)[/b]) %>" Title="Test"/>

That works, but it's so kludgie.... there must be a better way. Any ideas?

Bah, never mind, I must have lost a paranthesies or something, this worked fine:

<uc1:wucSlide ID="WucSlide2" runat="server" IndexPos=[b]'[/b]<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, [b]"IndexPos"[/b]) %>[b]'[/b] Title="Wheee"/>

for those refering to this post in the future. the difference between the 1st and 2nd post is the use of double quotes(") vs single quotes (') respectively.

<uc1:wucSlide ID="WucSlide2" runat="server" IndexPos=[COLOR=red]'[/color]<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "IndexPos") %>[COLOR=red]'[/color] Title="Wheee"/>

Thanks Jason, I tried bolding the 's but it doesn't look like they show up much better.
