Checking result of Container.DataI tem in a Datagrid

Hi,

I would like to find out if it's possible to check the value of a
Container.DataI tem inside the Datagrid's <ItemTemplate > tag .... based on
it's value, I would to either output it or output another DataItem from the
current resultset. Something like this:

<ItemTemplate >

If container.datai tem( "column" ) <> "none" Then
output container.datai tem( "column" )
Else
output container.datai tem( "alternate column" )

</ItemTemplate>

My weakness is inline asp code using <%# %> or <% %>. I jumped straight
into asp.net without knowing classic asp, and I think it's hurting me in
this case! Thanks for any advice.

Not using inline code. You'd need to add a handler for the datagrid.ItemDa taBound event and do your checking there
