Question

I haven’t used asp.net webforms in what seems like forever, and I am having the toughest time figuring out how to get a simple if/then statement to work. This is what I want to do:

<asp:Repeater ID="rpt" runat="server" DataSourceID="lds">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <% if(Eval("show")) { %> show something <% } %>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:repeater>

But obviously that gives me an error – how do I do this? Thank you – I have completely gone to MVC now and I can’t seem to remember this stuff.

Answer 1

You are missing an ItemTemplate

<asp:Repeater ID="rpt" runat="server" DataSourceID="lds">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <%# Eval("show") ? Eval("Whatever") : Eval("Whatever") %>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:repeater>
