Hi;

Is there a way to do <%# switch (Eval("prop")) ... where the case statements
are the text to put on the page?

Put the switch in a function, and call the function from the data
binding tag.

Hi David,

I'm not clear about this question. Would you please depict more? Thank you.

Is there a way to do something like:
<%#Eval("SomeClass.StaticMethod(prop)")%>
where that would return a string?

Adding internationalization is what is making this a bit of a pain and I
would like to have a single static method that returns the correct string for
any usage.

I'm trying to do something like in JSPs where you can have java code in the
page and that code can emit text to the generated page. So in the aspx page I
would have:
<%#
switch (BoundDataProperty) {
case 1:
return "dave";
case 2:
return "walter;
}

And at that location in the html file it would have the text dave or walter.

Hi David,

I believe you could still do this using old ASP syntax:

<% switch (BoundDataProperty) { %>
<% case 1: %>
dave
<% break; %>
<% case 2: %>
walter
<% break; %>
<% } %>

Assume you have following property in your code-behind:

protected int BoundDataProperty
{
get
{
return 1;
}
}

The ASPX page will display "dave".
