If/Then

[Laura K]

Having trouble making the switch from ASP classis to .NET. I have a table
cell which contains a color. To get that text I have the following.
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Color").ToString() %> and out pops
the color onto the page.

Now not all items have colors. At this time the space is just blank if there
is no color. I want to be able to have an NA appear instead. Tried various
IF/THENs I know what to do in classic. What do I do in .NET. Can
someone help with a bit of syntax?

Try doing it in the ItemDataBound.

Another method is to call a function

<%# findColor(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Color").ToString()) %>

the "findColor" function in code behind would look like

protected string findColor(string inColor)
{
if(inColor.Trim().Length == 0)
return("NA");

return(inColor);
}
