datagrid

Is this possible. I'd like to place a field in my datagrid (bid_id) and make it visible=false. Then use that value to append data to a different field in the grid....like this..

Code:

---

<%# If Container.DataItem ("Bid_Id") = "44444"  Then%>
<%# Container.DataItem ("Bid_Schedule_Desc")%>
<%else%>
<b>DELAYED</b>
<%# Container.DataItem ("Bid_Schedule_Desc")%>
<%end if%>

---

of course I'm getting an error...

From what I see of your code, you could turn of the auto generate columns in the datagrid and then use column templates.

Column templates look like:

Code:

---

        <asp:datagrid id="QueueDataGrid"  enableviewstate="true" runat="server"        CssClass="Case_Data" AutoGenerateColumns="true" HeaderStyle-Font-Bold="True" ItemStyle-CssClass="Case_Data_Cell" onEditCommand="TakeCellClick">
                <columns>
                        <asp:TemplateColumn        runat="server" ItemStyle-CssClass="QueueButtonCell" >
                                <ItemTemplate>
                                        <asp:button        text="Take"        CssClass="QueueButton" CommandName="Edit" runat="server" />
                                </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateColumn>
                        <asp:TemplateColumn        runat="server" ItemStyle-CssClass="QueueButtonCell"        >
                                <ItemTemplate>
                                        <asp:label runat="server" text='<%# Databinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Request ID").ToString() %>' />
                                </ItemTemplate>
                        </asp:TemplateColumn>
                </columns>
        </asp:datagrid>

---

And, consider this:

<asp:label id="something" runat="server" text='
<%# IIf(Container.DataItem ("Bid_Id") = "44444", Container.DataItem ("Bid_Schedule_Desc"),
"<b>DELAYED</b>" & Container.DataItem ("Bid_Schedule_Desc")) %>' />

that gives me an error...

Expression Expected

There are no line breaks in the code I posted. The BBS inserted some, make sure you remove them.

thanks Rat, that worked....

Is there a way I can the IIF statement and add more clauses...

If = 1, then DELAYED
= 2 , then CANCELLED
= 3, then PRE_BID
