Databindings property - I want to disable true values rather than false values

[Steve]

As you know there is a databindings property 'Enabled' for fields in
the gridview.

In the custom binding section I have used the expression:
Eval("myfield"). 'myfield' is a boolean field I have in my database.

This (obviously) leads to all 'False' fields being disabled and 'True'
ones being enabled.

What expression can I used instead of Eval("myfield") for the 'Enabled'
databindings property to make all 'True' values disabled and all
'False' values enabled?

have you tried simply negating the value?

vb.net:
<%# not eval("myField") %>

C#
<%# ! Eval("MyField") %>

Karl, Thank a lot!

That did it! Sorry I couldn't figure that out.

So I guess I can use any valid vb/c expression? Even if statments?

Thank you very much!

Yes, but as things get more complicated, you end up better off calling a
function that resides in your
codebehind, or hooking into the ItemDataBound event.

Both methods are documented:

Thanks Karl, I'll check out your site to figure it out.

Thank you.
