Why all Female

[ad]

I convert the field to a template column and then use a tmeplate expression
like this:

<%# (DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.SexID"))=="1" ? "Male":"Female"%>

Why the value always equal Female
(This method is from Rick Strahl)

Because the female is superior to the male :)

Very funny, however your reply did nothing to help the OP. Perhaps you can
demostrate your assertion by posting an 'Answer' which may help the OP?

Ad,

Why don't you change it in your program to:
<%# (DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.SexID")).ToString()%>

Than you would see it in my opinion

Although woman are of course superior to man, should this not a reason that
they can do it without them.

This is beecause the value is never "1". If it's a boolean item in the
dataset the response is probably "true" or "false" but don't rule out the
possibilities of "yes" or "no".

DataBinder.Eval (object, string) is an expression of type object, so
you're performing a reference identity comparison against the string
literal "1". If you use

"1".Equals(DataBinder.Eval (Container, DataItem.SexID"))
?"Male":"Female"

you may well find it works. Or not, depending on whether the evaluation
actually returns a string or not...
