Repeater Control Problem...

[Z D]

Hello,

I'm using a repeater control and I wish to put some logic in when accessing
one of the columns.

If I use this syntax, I'm able to output the column with no problem:
<%# (Container.DataItem("Quantity")) %>


But now I wish to put some logic around this, so, first I tried the
following:
<% Response.Write(Container.DataItem("HomeProfileNrgEquipQtyElectric")) %>

This gives the following error:
BC30451: Name 'Container' is not declared.



Does anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Eventually, instead of
using the Response.Write, I'll be putting an IF statement in there. Why
cant I access the "container" in this fashion?

I'm assuming it's just my syntax.... ?


Thanks in advance

Sorry, the second peice of code should have been:
<% Response.Write(Container.DataItem("Quantity")) %>

I still get the same error, it was just a typo in my original post. Any
thoughts?

Hi Bin,

Thaks for your reply.

I'm not sure that I can put the code in the ItemDataBound event because I
need to output (response.write) some HTML on the .aspx page at exactly a
certain spot depending on the value of a specific data item.

Is this possible?

thanks!

Hi,

<%#Container.DataItem ...%> is only for simple data binding. If you want

to include some logic, write the code in the Repeater.ItemDataBound Event.

Hi

You can try to add PlaceHolder in the HTML page where you want to add new control
