Question

I am currently doing the data binding:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Priority" SortExpression="priority">
    <ItemTemplate>
         <asp:Label Visible="true" runat="server" ID="priorityLabel" Text='<%# bind("numberTemplatePriority") %>'></asp:Label>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

However, I would like to get this value first: <%# bind(“numberTemplatePriority”) %>, which will bring an integer, an according to that value, I want to show an equivalent string. For example: if it is number 4, I want to show “Very Important”.

I wouldn’t like to modify the sql query since it is used in other parts of the application.

The GridView datasource is a dataset and “numberTemplatePriority” is one of its columns.

Thanks in advance.

Try,

<asp:Label 
   Visible="true" 
   runat="server" 
   ID="priorityLabel" 
   Text='<%# Eval("numberTemplatePriority").ToString()=="1" ? "Very Important" : 
       Eval("numberTemplatePriority").ToString()=="2" ? "Something" : "Nothing" %>'
/>
