I'm trying to replace a user code in data column with user friendly text for
a GridView ItemTemplate as in:

Text='<%# Eval("LocationType")%> == "P" ? "Pickup" : "DropOff"'

However the value always displays "DropOff" as if the binding doesn't return
any P's but I know there are Ps in the rows I'm testing with.

LocationType is defined as char(1) in the table.

Any suggestion why this isn't working?

Thanks.

Casing? Maybe this will do the trick:

<%# string.Compare(Eval("LocationType"), "P", false) == 0 ? "Pickup" :
"DropOff" %>

you could also try with single quotes in your example...maybe it's a char
<--> string thing, though I doubt it.

Your code is wrong. You're mixing server and javascript in the same line.

Try do this in GridView_RowDataBound event

get the data bind for LocationType

do your friendly string

show it in the correspondent cell

I it very well may be the char vs string but I can't for the life of me
figure out the single quote setup in this context, as the bind string is
encapsulated with single
quotes

You solution worked when casting the eval to a string as in:

string.Compare((string)Eval("LocationType"), "P",false)==0?"Pickup":"Dropoff"

Thanks much!

Hello John,

Thanks for your suggestion. Managed to keep this all in the Gridview and
avoid code behind solution.

Perfect Solution for this is


<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="User Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblUName" runat="server" Text='<%# String.Compare((string)Eval("LocationType"),"P",fa lse)==0?"Pickup":"Dropoff" %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>




It will definitely works

Here is my code:

<%# String.Compare((string)Eval("request"),"1",fa lse)==0?"<img src='imges001.png'>":"<asp:checkbox ID='s1' Runat='server' " %>


It doesn't show the checkbox, display nothing.... any suggestion. Thanks...

Try this====>

<input type="checkbox" <%# String.Compare((string)Eval("select_priv"),"t",fal se)==0?"checked=\"true\"":"" %> />


this one is working for me....

Hey,




you may try this :

Text='<%# Eval("LocationType").tostring() == "P" ? "Pickup" : "DropOff"'%>'
