listview databinding problem

i binding a dataset with a listview i want to i have a category table with have the following column (id,catName,CatPic) im looping in the database to get all record in the category table and place the data in a dataSet.

then i want bind the dataset to a list view display Categoy Picture and write the Category name underneath the picture

dataset holding all category record:

Dim CategoryDataSet As New DataSet
CatList.DataSource = CategoryDataSet 
CatList.DataBind()

 <asp:ListView ID="productslist" runat="server">
        <LayoutTemplate >
        <ul class ="productlist">
        <asp:PlaceHolder id="itemPlaceholder" runat="server" />
        </ul>
        </LayoutTemplate>

        <ItemTemplate>
        <li><asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("id", "picManu/Handler.ashx?ID={0}")%>' />
        <br/><%Eval("catName")%></li>  
        </ItemTemplate>

         <EmptyDataTemplate>
         <div>
         sorry no categoryfound
         </div>
         </EmptyDataTemplate>

    </asp:ListView>

problem:

Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.

what i am doing wrong?

You can not bind the DataSet itself, you have to bind the DataTable inside the DataSet.

You are not using the correct syntax for data binding expressions.

Instead of:

<br/><%Eval("catName")%></li>

Use:

<br/><%#Eval("catName")%></li>
