                            Then
                                Response.Write("Out of Stock")
                            Else if <%# Eval("CurrentStockQty") %> < 5
                                Response.Write("Less than 5 available")
                            Else
                                Response.Write("In Stock")
                            End If
                            </div>
                </div>
            </ItemTemplate>

Create a function in your code block, then from your itemtemplate, call that fuction.

depending on what you are trying to do...

<%# MyFunction(param) %>
<%= MyFunction(param) %>

It's not a good implementation what you're trying to do, and I don't know if it can be made like that, I think not.

I'd suggest one of two things: Either do it on the ItemDataBound event on your code behind OR, the easiest one, create a function that return the stock label.

Something like this:

Public Function GetStockLabel(ByVal qty As Int) As String

    If qty < 1 || null
    Then
        Return "Out of Stock"
    Else if qty < 5
        Return "Less than 5 available"
    Else
        Return "In Stock"
    End If

End Function

And call it like this inside <itemtemplate>:

<b><%# Eval("ProductName") %></b>
<%# GetStockLabel(Eval("CurrentStockQty")) %>
