[QUOTE="Mike, post: 3084316"]
it worked for my scenario, thanks.

I'll keep that in mind for the future, thanks
  That is how I always do.

Also I usually put those type of functions into <script runat=server"> on the aspx page itself rather than have them in .CS files
  Since I think they relate to GUI. Except the cases when I need to have standardized output across web site.

I usually have static functions in my clsGlobal: OutputDate(), OutputMoney(). Thus I can switch my date format or currency in one place for every page pretty painlessly.

George.

OK, I'll give it a shot, and see if it will show the correct image based on the value passed to the routine
      You will have to create your own function for that in a code behind

like 
      public string GetName(object objName)
      {
          if( objName == null )
              return "No Name";
          else
              return (string)objName;
      }

and call it

<%# GetName(Eval("Name")) %>

George
        Is it possible to do this in the HTML of the aspx page?

<#% if Eval("Name") != null %>
               write something here
        <#% else %>
               show message for missing name
        <#% end if %>

when I try this I get errors for missing (, or IF is not recognized, etc.

how can I get this to work without adding it to the code behind?  I need to do this in a GridView that is using template fields with links in the fields
