Question

I have an item template in a grid view:

 <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="GroupDescription">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <asp:Label ID="lblName" CssClass="edit" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("GroupDescription") %>'></asp:Label>
                     <asp:HiddenField ID="lblHidden" EnableViewState="false" runat="server" />
                </ItemTemplate>

            </asp:TemplateField>

The CssClass is ‘edit’. If the GroupDescription is default then there should be no css class. Is there some way to do this?

Thanks

You can change the class within the ItemDataBound event of the repeater:

protected void YourRepeater_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
        if (ListItemType.Item == e.Item.ItemType || ListItemType.AlternatingItem == e.Item.ItemType)
        {
          var lbl = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("lblName");
          if(lbl.Text == "something")
            lbl.CssClass = "someCssClass";
        }
}
