datagrid

[EyeTalion]

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..

<%# 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:

	<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")) %>' />

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
