Databound Item Replace

[Jim]

I have code
<span id="Name"><%# Container.DataItem("Name")%></span>
that I load information into the page using.

I want to perform a replace on the returned value to replace "'" with
"/'". Can anyone help with the syntax?

Thanks

Jim,

Why not just:

Container.DataItem("Name").ToString().Replace("'", "/'");

Hope this helps.

I have tried that syntax and it did not seem to work. I didn't think
the replace was valid syntax with the container object

HI

Weird, it should work as Paldino said.

Do this:
<span id="Name"><%# ReplaceText( Container.DataItem("Name") ) %></span>
in the code behind:
protected string ReplaceText( object o)
{

return o.ToString().Replace( ... );
}
just out of curiosite, put a breakpoint and see what type is o.

Another question, where is that code located? do you call DataBind() in the
page?

cheers,
