Hi, I have a cell in a datagrid which looks like this
<TD style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><%# databinder.eval(container.dataitem,"s1cl")%></TD>
What I need to do is perform some logic on the value, such as: if the value (databinder.eval(container.dataitem,"s1cl") = somestring then display this otherstring instead of origional value. I know how to form the if then statement. What I don't know is how or where to place it. In the codebehind or in the html or both? and how.
Thanks for you help

you can chang <TD> tag to server-side so you could access it better.
----
<TD style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt" runat=server ID="TD1"><%# databinder.eval(container.dataitem,"s1cl")%></TD>
----
Then in your codebehind you can use it i.e in your ItemCommand event of your DataGrid
----
private void DataGrid1_ItemCommand(object source,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
{
((HtmlTableCell)e.Item.FindControl("TD1")).InnerTe xt=newValue;
}
----

Hi, ive got a similar question, but im using a repeater control instead of a data grid, if i want to add a hyper link depending on the data from a sql quieries how should i do it, this is what i do at the moment =
 <div align="center"><a href="viewuser.aspx?id=<%# Container.DataItem("fldUserId") %>"><%# Container.DataItem("fldUName") %></a></div>
But if i want to not show the fldUName as a hyperlink for a specific value how do i do that?

Also hi to this forum ive just joined and thanks fo anyones reply

<div align="center"><a href="viewuser.aspx?id=<%# Container.DataItem("fldUserId") %>"><%# TextBox1.Text %></a></div>

Hi thanks for your reply, ive changed my tactics i'm now using the OnItemDataBound event for the repeater
<asp:repeater ID="forumRepeater" OnItemDataBound="forumRepeater_ItemDataBound" runat="server">

and calling the following function

Private Sub forumRepeater_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs)
       if not e.Item.DataItem("fldUName") = "Guest" then
            response.Write("hello<br>") <--- for testing
       End If
    End Sub
but as i am calling the sub from the repeater control how do i get hold of the objects to pass to the function.
I ask this as im getting an error, it works fine in vs.net using codebehind, but im using Dreamweaver with the code on the page.

Thanks in advance
