I want to do something like this
<%#(DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Age").ToString()=="0")
?"n/a"
:"DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Age")"%>
is it possible?
You can write a Method on page level and format the output there.
eg
<%# GetAgeDisplay(Eval("Age")) %>
and in code behind:
public String GetAgeDisplay(Int16 age) {
return age == 0 ? "n/a" : String.Format("{0}", age );
}
Make sure you are calling DataBinder
instead of simply returning a string:
Change this:
<%#(DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Age").ToString()=="0") ?
"n/a":"DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Age")"%>
To:
<%#(DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Age").ToString()=="0") ?
"n/a":DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Age")%>
What you are doing is returning a string instead of executing the binding expression.
