Interesting Type difference in .NET 4.0 when using DataBinding

<< .NET Framework 4.0 mysteriously loses track of System.EnterpriseServices | Home | Sometimes file sharing sucks >>

Consider this common construct that you and I have thrown into ASPX pages for years now:

<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.DataItem, "EmployeeID") %>

In .NET 3.5.1 and older it returns -- tada -- a string. No mystery there. But in .NET 4.0 it returns the same type as the underlying data type -- which in this case for me was a nullable int. Interesting, no?
