When using the databinding expression (#), double quotes will always try to convert the result to a string, so internally your code will compile to something like this:
#18236
propCtrl.PageLink = (string)MyFunction(var);
Using single qoutes however will not cast to string:
will compile to:
propCtrl.PageLink = MyFunction(var);

Using the singlequotes returns the error:
"Cannot convert type 'string' to 'EPiServer.Core.PageReference'"
Which is why im unsure what is going on. I mean, the function i call will simply sends back a useful value. But somehow the property cannot interprete it. :-/

This is the codebehind part of what I am trying to do:
public PageReference DisplayRandomSlide(int ParentID) {
PageReference SlideShowContent = new PageReference((int) MyPageIDIntegerValue);
return SlideShowContent;
}
Im calling this in my aspx page like so:

Your code looks ok to me, as long as you remember to DataBind the page (or more correctly, the control).
Using Single quotes should not give you the cannot convert to string exception as long as you use # and not = in your assignment.
Try giving the property control an id, and set the PageLink property directly from code behind. That should work.
