Hide when Empty. How to do this?

[Shapper]

Hello,

I have this code line inside an ASP.Net Repeater:
<a href='<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "link") %>'><%=
readMore %></a>

What I need to do is:
1. Show readMore value if <%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item,
"link") %> is not empty.

2. Show nothing if <%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "link") %> is
empty.

In this moment it is showing all the time the value of readMore.

Or maybe just hide the <a> tag.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Miguel

Both Azat and Gregory gave good possible solutions for this the last time
you asked. Personally, I'd prefer to filter out the rows where the value is
"empty" but if your solution doesn't allow for that, you can
programmaticall y hide the link during the ItemDataBound event
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...oundtopic.asp).

If you want to hide it by setting the link's Visible property to false or by
appending a display: none to its class attribute is up to you. Of course,
in order to access the link from the event handler, you'll have to either
set Runat="Server" on the link OR switch to using <asp:hyperlin k ...>.
You'll also want to give the control an ID so you can easily access it
through FindControl().
