Convert Eval value from int to string

I have an integer stored in my database that I need to convert a string to.

This is my attempt at Eval:

<%# ChangeSalaryType(Eval("SalaryType")) %>

This is my attempt to function:

public static string ChangeSalaryType(int salaryType)
{
    string salaryTime = string.Empty;

    if (salaryType == 1)
    {
        salaryTime = "per hour";
    }
    else if (salaryType == 2)
    {
        salaryTime = "per week";
    }
    else if (salaryType == 3)
    {
        salaryTime = "per annum";
    }
    return salaryTime;
}

But I get the following errors:

Argument 1: cannot convert from 'object' to 'int'   
Error   2   The best overloaded method match for 'controls_allPlacements.ChangeSalaryType(int)' has some invalid arguments   
Error   4   The best overloaded method match for 'controls_allPlacements.ChangeSalaryType(int)' has some invalid arguments

I used "SalaryType" in Eval, since this is a parameter that contains information from the database. I'm not completely sure what I'm doing wrong.

Even if you know that the field SalaryTypewill be intin your aspx, it will be passed as objectafter Eval (). Make an explicit cast like this:

<%# ChangeSalaryType(Convert.ToInt32(Eval("SalaryType"))) %>

Try converting to intyour Eval part;

Convert.ToInt32(Eval("SalaryType"))

Evalprobably returns objectas a return type.

DataItem :

<%#RenderSalaryType(Container.DataItem)%>

and by code

protected string RenderSalaryType(object oItem)
{
    int salaryType = (int)DataBinder.Eval(oItem, "SalaryType");

    // rest of your code
}
