Very easy problem for an expert

Nicky2k · April 6th, 2005, 06:18 AM

I have managed to get round inserts, updates and deletes in C#. Now I have a page that retreives things from a database. What I want to do is something like this

if (variable is one value)

{

display bit of html here

}

else

{

display bit of html here

}

I can do this in functions and it is very simple. however I want to do this in the html part of the page. I can't use braces, surely?

Could this be something I could use labels for?

Not really a version 2 question but...
Define an asp:label control, with an id of lblData for example. In your code block:

Code:

if (myVar == "something")
{
  lblData.Text = "Some text here";
}
else
{
  lblData.Text = "Some different text here";
}

If you have many options use a switch statement instead of an if/else.

Conditional coding could be done in HTML part using ?: operator
inside the databinding blocks
