Get data from database using linq query and display it in dynamically generated labels in repeater

Client side:

<asp:Repeater ID="QuestionRepeater" runat="server">
  <HeaderTemplate>
   <ul>
  </HeaderTemplate>
  <ItemTemplate>
    <li><%# Eval("Question_Question") %></li>
  </ItemTemplate>
  <FooterTemplate>
    </ul>
  </FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Code Behind:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!this.IsPostBack)
    {
        this.BindRepeater();
    }
}

private void BindRepeater()
{
    var q = from u in db.tbl_Question select u.Question_Question;
    QuestionRepeater.DataSource = q.ToList();
    QuestionRepeater.DataBind();
}

Error:

Error is on line where use use Eval("Question_Question") function, i also tried Bind("Question_Question").

DataBinding: 'System.String' does not contain a property with the name 'Question_Question'.

You're binding the repeater to list of strings. Change the binder expression to:

<ItemTemplate>
    <%# Container.DataItem?.ToString() ?? string.Empty%>
</ItemTemplate>
