DataGrid control

Alan Lambert

I'm using a DataGrid to display data returned from a database.
I've got a template column which displays the results from several fields.
Within this template column I want to display certain fields but only if the
data in a particular field is not null, but I can't get it to work:

<itemtemplate >
....
<%# If Not IsDBNull(DataBi nder.Eval(Conta iner.DataItem, "EditedBy") Then
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "EditedBy") & " " &
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "DateEdited ")
End If %>
</itemtemplate>

How should I do this?

Many thanks for any help.

Here is one option:

<ItemTemplate >
<%# IIf (IsDBNull(DataB inder.Eval(Cont ainer.DataItem, "EditedBy") , ' ',
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "EditedBy") & " " &
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "DateEdited ")) %>
</ItemTemplate>

Row selection and highlighting using Web Control Datagrid?

by: Carolyn Vo | last post by:

I have been looking and looking but can't seem to find out how to get the row selected in a web control datagrid (NOT a web form datagrid!!!), and how to highlight the selected row. I'm sure this question comes up all the time but I can't find the solution(s) anywhere. From what I understand, the web control datagrid doesn't have any row selected or row highlighting capabilities. What kind of hack am I going to have to put into place?...

Tracking DataGrid changes

by: Glenn Owens | last post by:

I have a DataGrid web control which I've dynamically populated with template columns to be used for bulk-editting. Generally, all of the columns are textbox and/or dropdownlist child controls.

Extended datagrid

by: pmcguire | last post by:

I have a DataGrid control for which I have also created several new extended DataGridColumnStyles. They behave pretty nicely, but I can't figure out how to implement Selected Item formatting for them. In a plain vanilla DataGrid, when you click on the RowHeader, the appropriate row changes colors. I ASSUME this should be done in the Paint (or PaintText) override of the DataGridColumnStyle in question. My problem is that I don't know...

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
