I have something here that can serve as an example for you.

[calendar.aspx]

<asp:datalist id="Datalist1" runat="server" Width="100%" BorderWidth="1px" 
CellPadding="3" BorderColor="#E7E7FF" cellSpacing="2">
	<ItemTemplate>
		<tr>
			<td width="150" bgcolor="#c0c0c0">
				<%# DataBinder.Eval
(Container.DataItem, "Title") %>
			</td>
			<td width="90" bgcolor="#c0c0c0" nowrap="true">
				<%# DisplayType(DataBinder.Eval
(Container.DataItem, "Type")) %>
			</td>
			<td width="250" bgcolor="#c0c0c0">
				<%# DataBinder.Eval
(Container.DataItem, "Reminder") %>
			</td>
		</tr>
	</ItemTemplate>
</asp:datalist>



[calendar.aspx.vb]

    Function DisplayType(ByVal Type As Integer) As String
        Select Case Type
            Case 1
                Return "General"
            Case 2
                Return "Appointment"
            Case 3
                Return "Birthday"
            Case 4
                Return "Holiday"
            Case 5
                Return "Romance"
            Case 6
                Return "Festival"
            Case 7
                Return "Indoor Activity"
            Case 8
                Return "Outdoor Activity"
            Case 9
                Return "Special Occasion"
            Case 10
                Return "Project Work"
            Case 11
                Return "Auction"
            Case 12
                Return "Retail"
            Case Else
                Return ""
        End Select
    End Function


The function can have more than 1 parameter and is returning a string that 
can consist of anything (i.e. the function parameters).




Previous message:
> I have the following Repeater control.  How can I test for null or an 
empty field and then not write that field to the browser.

The following works for null but not for empty.  Should I create a 
function which will test each field?

<asp:Repeater id="List" runat=3D"server">

<ItemTemplate>

<a href="http://<%# Container.DataItem("URL") %>" target="_blank" >
<%# Container.DataItem("CompanyName") %>
</a>

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Address1", "<br>{0}") %>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Address2", "<br>{0}") %>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Phone_AreaCode", "{0}") %>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Phone", "{0}") %>

</ItemTemplate>

</asp:Repeater>



I need to do something like this:

If objRS("Phone2_AC") <> "" Then Response.Write "(" & objRS("Phone2_AC") & 

") "
If objRS("Phone2") <> "" Then Response.Write objRS("Phone2") & "<br>"


Thanks
