Question

I am doing a query to get Title and RespondBY from the tbl_message table, I want to decrypt the Title before I do databinding to the repeater. How can I access the title value before doing databind.

string MysqlStatement = "SELECT Title, RespondBy  FROM tbl_message  WHERE tbl_message.MsgID = @MsgID";

using (DataServer server = new DataServer())
{
    MySqlParameter[] param = new MySqlParameter[1];
    param[0] = new MySqlParameter("@MsgID", MySqlDbType.Int32);
    param[0].Value = MessageID;
    command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@MsgID", MessageID);
    ds = server.ExecuteQuery(CommandType.Text, MysqlStatement, param);
}
rptList.DataSource = ds;
rptList.DataBind();


  <table style="width: 498px; color: #F5F5F5;">
        <asp:Repeater ID="rptList" runat="server">
            <HeaderTemplate>
            </HeaderTemplate>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <tr>
                    <td width="15%">
                        <b>Subject</b>
                    </td>
                    <td width="60%">
                        <asp:Label ID="lbl_Subj" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("Title")%>' />
                    </td>
                </tr>

Probably, like following code part you can get the Title and try this coding before

rptList.DataSource = ds;
  rptList.DataBind();  

The following code part can get the Title from dataset

string title = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Title"].ToString();
