Is it possible using Eval? If so, can someone post a short fragment to illustrate? My SqlDataSource returns 1 record with 3 fields, I’d like to Format these into a string. eg:
Record
Field ‘Name’ = ‘Jack’
Field ‘Amount’ = 100
Field ‘Date’ = 12.02.2010
asp:Label text should end up being:
Welcome Jack, last payment was 100 on 12.02.2010
if another control than asp:Label is appropriate, that would be good to know also.
Label’s the right control for what you want to display, but SqlDataSource probably isn’t the right control for getting the data. Labels have no DataSourceID property that allows you associate the controls together – whilst you might be able to do some plumbing in your server-side code to make it work, my suspicion is it’d be more efficient to get the relevant DataRow during Page_Load, build the string and then put that into the Text property of the Label.
