Question

I want to do something like this with a GridView:

<asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="True" Visible='<%# return Eval("SC_TABLE") %>' />

But that doesn’t work, coming up with error:

Databinding expressions are only
supported on objects that have a
DataBinding event.
System.Web.UI.WebControls.CommandField
does not have a DataBinding event.

Is there anyway I can set the visibility from the aspx page?
PS: SC_TABLE exists from the datasource, so nothing wrong from that part.

You could do this with a TemplateField instead…

<asp:TemplateField>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID=SelectButton CommandName="SELECT" Visible='<%# Eval("SC_TABLE") %>' Text="Select" />
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
