C# - How To Bind NameValueCollection Variable To Datalist Tag In The Markup

I am using an asp.net/c# datalist.

<asp:DataList ID="EquipmentList" RepeatColumns="5".....

I have the following line inside the <ItemTemplate> tag:

<a href=""><%# {I want to put something here but dont know how} %> </a>

In my code behind I have a NameValueCollection variable that contains all strings:

NameValueCollection myListofStrings = //calling a method here that populates myListofStrings
this.EquipmentList.DataSource = myListofStrings;
this.EquipmentList.DataBind();

can someone tell me how to bind this NameValueCollection variable to my datalist tag in the markup? Also additional knowledge on how to bind a datalist to a dataset, sqldatareader, IList<>

but for now what do I write inside the tag if lets say i HAVE to bind to a NameValueCollection variable like in my case above. It has no properties or columns so I cannot write anything like Eval("propertyname") which is the answer that most here gave me. It is just like I am binding it to an array of strings. So what do I write now?
