show check box in repeater based on database value

[Imran Aziz]

Hello All,
I display a list of entries with a checkbox against them using a
repeater control bound to a database table. Based on the value of database
table I want to either show the checkbox for a row or not to show, how do I
accomplish that using a repeater control ?
Should I do something like this

<%if (((DataRowView) Container.DataI tem)["bThisUserHasIt "] == 0)

{ %><asp:CheckBo x ID="chkBookMark ID" text='<%#
((DataRowView)C ontainer.DataIt em)["nBookMarkI D"] %>' runat="server"
ForeColor="Whit e" Font-Size="1px" /<%} %>
(this one does not work , but I am thinking it might be possible to do it
like that, get this error, Error 2 The name 'Container' does not exist in
the current context
C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\allenandove ry\bookmarks\re centbookmarks.a spx 24 35
C:\...\allenand overy\
)

or is there a better way to do it, checking and specifying the value in code
behind?
Thanks a lot for your support.
Imran.

You can move the same code to simple function to determin if the check box
will be visible or not

<asp:CheckBox Visible='<%#Vis ibleYesNo(DataB inder.Eval(Cont ainer.DataItem,
"bThisUserHasIt ").ToString())% >' ID="chk" Runat="server"> </asp:CheckBox>

Please note the

Visible='<%#Vis ibleYesNo(DataB inder.Eval (Container.Data Item,
"bThisUserHasIt ").ToString())% >'

the VisibleYesNo funtion would look like

protected bool VisibleYesNo (string val)
{
if(val=="0")
return(true);

return(false);
}

You could make use of the Finbyvalue method and loop through the checkboxes.
Or create a function VisibleYesorNo function as adviced.
