Question

So, I want to use jquery to set the text of a button, depending on the value of a property in the current row of a repeater.

I need to call a function in the code-behind to map the value to the text the button should have. So, I need to pass to my foo function, the string value of the UserStatus property for the current item in the repeater.

I want to do the following, although this syntax is obviously not correct:

<asp:Repeater ID='dgCustomer' runat='server'>   <ItemTemplate>      <input id='rb' name='rb' type='radio' onclick='javascript:$('input.magicbutton').val('<%= foo(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'UserStatus')) %>');'  

If the codebehind contains the following method definition:

protected string foo(string status) 

What is the correct syntax to call foo with an Item value from the repeater?

Answer 1

Switch the <%= with <%# and it looks like you should be good to go.
