I have a user control in C# in ASP.NET. This user control has a method in the code-behind that is defined as follows:
protected string GetGreeting(string name)
{
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(name))
{
return "Hello";
}
else
{
return "Hello " + name;
}
}
My markup looks like the following:
<asp:Repeater ID="listRepeater" ClientIDMode="Static" runat="server" OnLoad="listRepeater_Load">
<HeaderTemplate>
<table id="listTable" style="width:100%;">
<thead><tr>
<th>Greeting</th>
<th>Actions</th>
</tr></thead>
<tbody>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td><%# GetGreeting("FullName")%></td>
<td><a href='#'>view info</a></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</tbody>
</table>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
How do I bind the FullName property of the record in my data source? Right now, I keep seeing "Hello FullName". I want to see something like "Hello John Smith". What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
In your .aspx, you are calling GetGreeting("FullName")
. This passes "FullName"
literally.
Try
GetGreeting(Eval("FullName").ToString())
