Question

Since I have a field, which contain html content, in dataset returned from database. I want to sue a div to display the html content by using

div.innerHtml=...

I can find div control in Repeater1_ItemDataBound event but don’t know how to bind that field to the control. That field is called ‘actualContent’. I think write

div.innerHtml=<%=actualContent%> won't work in backend

Then how to bind that field? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Add runat=”server” to the div, and put your content in between the tagsm like this:

ASPX

Literal method:

<div ID="div1" runat="server">
    <%#Eval("ActualContent")%>
</div>

DIV method:

<div ID="div1">
    <asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("ActualContent")%>' />
</asp:Panel>

Code behind

Literal method:

string literalValue = ((Literal)e.Item.FindControl("Literal1")).Text;

DIV method:

string divValue = ((HtmlGenericControl)e.Item.FindControl("div1")).InnerHtml;
