Printable View
I have a boolean in my code behind that I want to control the visibility of a control but I get a databinding error. Not sure if my syntax is correct.
I've simplified what I am doing below. I have no problem accessing public and protected variables in html via <%=whatever%> but when I try to apply to a control attribute it isn't working.
VB Code:
I'll take a shot at this. I think the reason might be that the control wants a string, not a boolean value.
Try doing this:
Let me know!Code:Protected myBoolean as String = "false"
<html>
<Component:myComponent Visible="<%= myBoolean%>"/>
</html>
Tried that one to
Error is:
<%=myBoolean%> is not a valid value for Boolean
Me.MyControl.Visible = myBoolean
Where are talking the HTML side of things
I would do it in the codebehind, but you could try this:
<html>
<Component:myComponent Visible="<%= myBoolean.toString %>"/>
</html>
No idea if this works, never do it this way.
What I've shown is the same thing, only it's the proper way to facilitate separation of UI and UI logic. :)Quote:

This is the question. not looking for alternate answers. ;)
