Question

I have a listview control on an .aspx page. Inside this list view i want to check “Type” property which comes from database. here is the example code :

 <ItemTemplate>
         <%# if(Convert.ToInt32(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Type")) == 0){ %>
            <tr class="item">
                <td>
                    <%# Convert.ToDateTime(Eval("WorkDate")).ToShortDateString() %>
                </td>
                <td style="text-align: center;">
                    <%# Eval("SkillName") %>
                </td>
             </tr>
         <%# } else if (Convert.ToInt32(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Type")) == 1) {%>
             <tr class="item">
                <td colspan="2">
                    <strong><%# Convert.ToDateTime(Eval("WorkDate")).ToShortDateString() %></strong>
                </td>
             </tr>
          <% } %>
  </ItemTemplate>

As a last resort i tried to user DataBinder.Eval() but i get the exception “Expected class, delegate, enum, interface, or struct”. What can i be doing wrong? Writing a function in code-behind isn’t an option for me. Is there a way to achieve this?

Untested, as I don’t have Visual Studio available at the moment, but since HtmlTableRow has a Visible property, the following should work:

<tr class="item" runat="server" Visible='<%# Convert.ToInt32(Eval("Type")) == 0 %>'>
    ...
</tr>
