'AuthorizationRule' is a type and cannot be used as an expression. errors are bold.

---

In some places of your markup you have an unnecessary , (line no. 352, 358 and 364)

stuff like

 <%#GetAction((AuthorizationRule), Container.DataItem)%>

I think, should be

  <%#GetAction(DirectCast(Container.DataItem, AuthorizationRule))%>

similarly

<%#GetRole(CType(Container.DataItem, AuthorizationRule))%>

and

<%#GetUser(DirectCast(Container.DataItem, AuthorizationRule))%>

Also use this replacing what you have

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Delete Rule" CommandArgument='<%# DirectCast(Container.DataItem, AuthorizationRule) %>' OnClick="DeleteRule" OnClientClick="return confirm('Click OK to delete this rule.')" />

and

 <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="  Up  " CommandArgument='<%# DirectCast(Container.DataItem, AuthorizationRule) %>' OnClick="MoveUp" />
 <asp:Button ID="Button3" runat="server" Text="Down" CommandArgument='<%# DirectCast(Container.DataItem, AuthorizationRule) %>' OnClick="MoveDown" />
