Check condition in Databinder

[dhj]

hi

i need to do something like follows

say in a table i have 2 fields as status (boolean) and description(string)

i i need to check status and if it is true only display the description

 

this is what i wrote in my page_load of C# page

 

MyList.DataSource = productCatalogue.GetProducts(categoryId);

MyList.DataBind();

 

Mylist is a DataList and from GetProducts function i can get all the details of the table

 

And in aspx page i wrote

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

 

what my problem is i don't know how to check the status here

 

this is in a web application in C# .net environment

 

if anyone have an idea pls help

thank you

Instead, place a public function in your code behind to eval the status, if true return the description.

CODE BEHIND

Public Function evaluate(ByVal Value1 As String, ByVal Value2 As String) As String

 

'Do some comparison, set your strTemp

Dim strTemp As String

RETURN strTemp

 

End Function

 

.ASPX

 

<%# evaluate(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "value1"), DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "value2"),%>

 

 

OR

 

use OnItemDataBound in your datalist.
