Hi,

Is there a way to wrap an IF condition around a DropDownList, I don't want the dropdown to appear in all rows, only in some rows.

I tried wrapping a script around the asp DropDownList declaration, but it gives me compile errors:

<script language="c#" runat="server">
  <asp:DropDownList ID="dDropList" blah blah
                    runat="server">
  </asp:DropDownList>
</script>

Any suggestions on how i can wrap an IF statement around the <asp:DropDownList declaration?

Thanks!

Hey,

You can't do that... It's not like the ASP way of doing things. You do one of a few things; use panels to show/hide controls based on certain parameters. Another thing you can do is to dynamically create the control through code:

if (..) then
  Dim objList as new DropDownList
  ContainerControl.Controls.Add(objList) 'a panel or some other container
end if

There are a variety of ways to do things. What do you want to do?

You can also switch the Visible property based on some condition

asp:DropDownList ID="dDropList" runat="server" Visible=<%# SomeMethod %>'>
</asp:DropDownList>

where SomeMethod is a boolean function in your Code Behind...
